Steps

1

In a bowl, mix together the walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside.
2

Butter a baking pan and layer 3 sheets of phyllo dough on the bottom. Sprinkle some of the walnut filling over the phyllo.
3

Continue layering 2 sheets of phyllo, then more filling. Repeat, adding filling every 2 sheets, and finish with 3 sheets of phyllo on top.
4

Cut the baklava into your desired shapes.
5

Pour the melted butter over the cuts.
6

Bake at 350°F (180°C) until golden, then reduce the temperature to 250°F (120°C) and bake for about 4 hours.
7

Prepare the syrup first so it can cool. Boil the sugar, water, orange, cinnamon sticks, and cloves for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the honey, lemon juice, and orange zest.
8

Pour the cooled syrup over the hot baklava.
