After lining the baking tray with baking paper, mix the two types of flour with the almonds and the baking soda. Gently heat the honey and sugar, then incorporate the eggs, the melted butter, the vanilla sugar, the grated lemon zest and lemon juice, the rum, the cinnamon, the ground cloves, and the flour mixture, and work everything together until a dough forms. Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. Briefly knead it again, roll it out to a thickness of about 1 cm, cut out biscuits as desired, brush them with a little milk, decorate them (optional) with almonds or walnuts, and bake them in the preheated oven at 180°C for about 6 minutes.
Cover the gingerbread with a glaze made from icing sugar or decorate it with a coloured glaze and garnish with almonds, pistachios, coloured sprinkles, etc., to use as Christmas decorations.
