Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ pound blanched almonds
  • ¾ pound white granulated sugar
  • 2–3 spoonfuls rosewater
  • 1 grain musk (substitute edible musk essence)
  • 1 grain ambergris (no modern substitute)
  • Fine lemon zest

Directions

  1. Start pounding the almonds in a marble mortar.
  2. Gradually pound in the sugar a spoonful at a time until it is all incorporated.
  3. Pound in the rosewater, musk, ambergris, and lemon zest until the mixture is a fine paste.
  4. Pinch off balls and roll them in some additional sugar, then place on parchment-lined sheets. Bake in a slow oven (275–300°F/135–150°C) until dried through.
