We never have soda around the house so I just use a mixture of water, lemon juice, and some extra sugar to replace it. Turns out perfect every time!

This was an awesome base recipe; however, since I was trying to replicate some almonds that I bought from a street vendor, I ended up making modifications for my second batch. Please try it this way - you won't regret it!!! I reduced the nuts to 2 cups (you could also just double the coating ingredients...) for a heavier coating. I replaced the white sugar with dark brown sugar, increased the cinnamon to 2 tsp, and decreased the salt to 1/8 tsp. Make sure you let the nuts cool off most of the way before eating so the coating can harden, otherwise they will seem chewy.
