MAKES 20
150g ground almonds
75g icing sugar
3 pieces of mastic gum (from health food stores and online suppliers)
1tsp cardamom seeds
2tbsp rose water
75g granulated sugar
2tbsp slivered almonds and pistachios
1 Place the ground almonds and icing sugar in a food processor. Grind the mastic with the cardamom seeds in a pestle and mortar until a fine powder forms. Add to the food processor and blitz for a minute to combine. With the motor running slowly, pour in the rose water in a trickle until the mixture comes together when you pinch it between your fingers.
2 Take a date-sized piece of the dough and shape it into a cylinder with one end slightly pointed and the other end wider. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Lay the granulated sugar on a plate and roll the shaped sweets in the sugar to coat. Pierce the wider ends of the sweets with a slivered almond or pistachio.
3 Place on a platter, cover with a clean tea towel and put into the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Keep covered in the fridge until ready to serve, and consume within 5 days.
