Pistachio and Almond Kataifi Nests

Buttery shredded phyllo is twirled into crisp little nests, baked until deep amber and filled with vivid pistachios and slivered almonds. A fragrant orange blossom syrup soaks in while they are hot, so each nest shatters and then turns chewy and sweet. Lovely with strong coffee or mint tea.
