-- In order for the (room temperature) syrup to be absorbed properly, it is important to be poured over the hot baklava just as it comes out of the oven.
-- Once cooled completely, store the baklava at room temperature to preserve its crispness, covered loosely, preferable in a cool room, for 3-4 days. After that time, place any leftover baklava in an airtight container and refrigerate. It might loose some of its crispiness but it will still be delicious!
