tip: to toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F (180° C) oven until fragrant and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Shake the pan once or twice so that they toast evenly. Check after 3 minutes. Once they begin to color, they will brown very quickly. Do not allow them to burn.
