Stir well until all the yeast has dissolved, cover, and set aside in a warm place for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture is frothy. Sift the flour with cinnamon and salt into a mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture, the milk and the remaining 150 ml/¼ pt lukewarm water. Gradually stir in the flour mixture from the sides of the bowl, then beat in the eggs to form a smooth batter. Beat the batter vigorously until bubbles appear on the surface. Set aside. Make the syrup. Place all the ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan and heat and boil the syrup for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool, then remove the cinnamon stick and set aside. Heat the oil for deep frying. Carefully place the batter, 1 tbsp at a time, into the hot oil and fry the doughnuts in batches for 3-5 minutes or until puffed and golden brown, turning them as they cook. Continue with the remaining batter, and using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked doughnuts to a dish lined with absorbent paper to drain. Mix together the caster sugar and ground cinnamon on a plate and roll each hot doughnut in the mixture to coat. Either arrange the doughnuts in a shallow serving dish, pour over the syrup and allow to stand for about 1 hour before scattering over the chopped almonds, or pile the doughnuts on to a plate and scatter with the chopped almonds and serve the syrup separately.
