Steps

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and keep it ready.
Measure the ingredients. If the almonds are a little old, then roast them in a pan for few minutes until they are aromatic. Cool them down to room temperature. I had bought some fresh almonds, so I skipped this step.
In the same pan, add the sugar, cinnamon and water and mix.
Heat the sugar in low to medium flame. Mix well to dissolve the sugar.
Once the sugar starts to boil, add the almonds to the pan.
Keep stirring the mixture in low flame until all the moisture disappears and the sugar coats the almonds well.
Once the almonds appear dry, turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet.
Separate the clumps if there are any and then let the almonds cool down entirely. Store in an airtight container once they have cooled down entirely.

I have made this recipe 2 times. The first time, I roasted walnuts and they were delicious! I have just finished making some with almonds. I am waiting for them to cool off.
