Almond rocher

 

  Ice tea

  • 100 GRAM ALMONDS, cut lengthwise
  • 2 TBSP HONEY
  • 2 TBSP ICING SUGAR
  • 100 GRAM CHOCOLATE
 
  • 6 TBSP SUGAR
  • 2 TBSP BLACK TEA
  • 1 ORANGE

Cover a baking tray with baking paper. Mix the almonds with the honey and form 12 little heaps on the paper. Sprinkle the icing sugar on top. Bake them at 180 degrees Celsius in the oven, approximately 8-10 minutes, but watch out that the sugar does not burn. If they look hopelessly flattened, don't worry, just allow them to cool off a little bit and shape them back into heaps with your fingers and a teaspoon. Allow them to cool down completely. Melt the chocolate and pour this on top. Only eat them when they are completely cool.

Cut the peel off the orange in long strips. Bring 1 liter water to the boil, add the orange peel and the tea and let it simmer for five minute. Pour the tea through a sieve, stir in the sugar and put the orange peel back in. Chill the tea completely and serve with ice cubes.
