Step:

  1. Prepare the syrup by boiling the water, sugar, honey and the lemon peel in a small pot for about 5-7 minutes. 

  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in anoter pot and brown the flour, mixing so that the flour browns evenly. 

  3. It was my idea to add 1 tsp of honey to the flour while browning it, you can omit that if you like.

  4. Add 1/2 tsp clove powder and the cinnamon.

  5. When the color of the flour has changed to brown, add the syrup. 

  6. Mix well using a wooden spoon until everything is fully incorporated.

  7. Then, very carefully because the mixture is extremely hot, take a large spoon or an ice-cream scoop and form small pieces of halva the size of oblong meatballs.

  8. Place them in a platter and sprinkle with cinnamon or nuts or both!
