To a medium sized non stick pan, add the water and sugar over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to bubble. Once the syrup has boiled, add the almonds and lower the heat to medium. Stir frequently for about 5-10 minutes until sugar crystallises around the almonds.

Continue to stir until the sugar will begin to melt again. Once remelted, add the cinnamon while the sugar syrup covers the almonds. Once sugar has caramelised and cinnamon is mixed in, pour almonds onto a cookie sheet, spread them out with a spatula to cool fully.
