Sweetening the Deal
No Baklava with walnuts is complete without a drizzle of sweet syrup to elevate its flavors to new heights. Prepare a simple syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water until fully dissolved, then infuse it with a splash of lemon juice and a hint of aromatic spices such as cinnamon and cloves. Pour the fragrant syrup over the freshly baked Baklava, allowing it to seep into every crevice and infuse each bite with a burst of sweetness.
