Turn the saucepan to medium heat.

Add 1/4 cup of water, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the saucepan.

Stir the mixture while bringing it to a boil.

Butter the entire surface of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper using 2 tablespoons of butter.

Continue stirring the mixture until it comes to a boil.

Once boiling, add 2 cups of raw almonds to the mixture and continue to cook.

Stir continuously as the mixture goes through stages: first, the liquid evaporates, then it becomes stringy, and finally crystallizes.

Ensure the nuts do not stick together while cooking.

Once the mixture is no longer shiny and looks dry, remove it from heat.

Spread the almonds on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.

Let the almonds cool for 15 minutes.
