In a cool medium-sized non-stick sauce pan, combine almonds, sugar, honey, salt, and spices if using.

Turn heat to medium high and cook, stirring constantly until the sugar melts and coats almonds.

Watch closely, and continue to cook until the sugar turns a light amber color.

Remove from heat and spread almonds out on a parchment paper or lightly greased tin foil.

Let cool and store in an air-tight container until ready to use.
