Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Make the syrup: bring the water and sugar to a boil. Once the sugar has dissolved, take it off the heat and stir in the honey, lemon juice and flavorings. Let it cool completely.
3. Mix the walnuts, almonds, cinnamon and cloves in a bowl.
4. Cut the phyllo into 2 stacks that fit a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Brush the pan with melted butter.
5. Layer 8-10 sheets on the bottom, then add a handful of the nut mixture.
6. Add 3-4 phyllo sheets, then nuts, repeating until 8-10 sheets remain for the top, brushing butter between layers as needed.
7. Cut 3 straight lines parallel to the long side to make 4 rows, then make diagonal cuts from one corner to the opposite corner, sized to your liking.
8. Pour the melted butter over the top and sprinkle a little water over the edges.
9. Bake on the center rack for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until golden all over.
10. As soon as it comes out of the oven, pour 3/4 of the syrup over it, keeping the rest for later if needed.
11. Leave at room temperature for 4-5 hours until set.
