Chef's Notes

I like to toast the the nuts first in the oven, then cool and coarsely grind.
Always pour cool syrup over hot baklava for the best results, it's the proper technique for that flaky crispiness!
I did not use all the simple syrup, most, but not all.
Remove whole cloves before serving/eating.

 
Here's a recap of the baklava layers:
6 layers buttered phyllo, ⅓ nut mixture
3 layers buttered phyllo, ⅓ nut mixture
3 layers buttered phyllo, ⅓ nut mixture
7-8 layers buttered phyllo, cut into diamonds
