In a baking pan, roast the sesame seeds and crush. In a pot, heat the honey and let simmer until losing some of the moisture. Add the sesame seeds, lemon juice, orange zest and spices. Stir well and spread onto a wet marble surface. Press the almonds into the mixture while still hot and cut into thin strips.
