Step 1
Prepare the syrup: Combine sugar, water, honey, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in rosewater, and let cool completely.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix chopped walnuts, pistachios, cinnamon, and cloves.
Step 3
Lightly brush a 9x13 inch baking pan with melted butter. Lay a sheet of phyllo dough in the pan and brush with butter. Repeat for 8-10 layers.
Step 4
Spread one-third of the nut mixture evenly over the phyllo. Add 4-5 buttered phyllo layers, then another third of nuts. Repeat, finishing with 8-10 buttered phyllo layers on top.
Step 5
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the baklava into diamond or square shapes, cutting all the way through to the bottom.
Step 6
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Immediately upon removing from the oven, slowly and evenly pour the cooled syrup over the hot baklava. Allow to cool completely (several hours or overnight) before serving.
