Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spiced Mixture:
- In a large skillet, combine water, sugar, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. 🍯✨
- Place the skillet over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves completely. 🥄
-
Thicken the Mixture:
- Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. This will create a flavorful syrup that will coat the walnuts beautifully. 🌟🔥
-
Add the Walnuts:
- Once the syrup has thickened, add the walnuts to the skillet. Stir well to ensure that each walnut is evenly coated with the spiced mixture. 🌰🍬
-
Spread and Cool:
- Spread the coated walnuts out onto a flat surface lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Ensure that the walnuts are spread out in a single layer, allowing them to cool evenly. 🌈❄️
- Use a fork or spatula to separate any clumps of walnuts, ensuring that they don’t stick together as they cool. This step is crucial for achieving perfectly crunchy and evenly coated walnuts. 🍴💫
