4. Meanwhile, prepare the **almonds** by placing them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes.

6. Prepare another 40 g (½ cup) of **coconut flakes** for rolling.
7. Take the chocolate-coconut mixture from the fridge, form small balls, and insert an almond into the center of each ball.
8. Roll the balls in the **coconut flakes** to coat them evenly.
9. Place the finished candies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to harden.

Bonus: Refreshing Vitamin Tea

While your candies are chilling, why not brew a refreshing tea? Here’s a quick recipe:

• Grate the zest of 1 orange.
• Combine 1 tablespoon of **vitamin or green tea** with 1 liter of boiling water.
• Let it brew for 4-5 minutes, then add **orange juice** for a citrus twist.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
