The Tea with Tolkien blogger also notes that there has to be a nutty component to lembas because it also contains fruit of the Mallorn tree, which she describes as, "a round nut with a silver shale." It almost sounds like a biscotti, in our opinion, but according to LOTR.fandom.com, Tolkien most likely based lembas on what is known as a hardtack biscuit or survival bread.
Per An Off the Grid Life, this dense and crispy biscuit was used by both settlers and sailors making long journeys and is comprised of flour, water, and salt. Still, LOTR.fandom.com also conjectures that the inspiration for this Elven bread might also be traced to a German physician named Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, who wrote about an herb that could sustain a man for 12 days, no bread or water needed. So many theories!
But if you want to try your hand at making lembas yourself, Tea with Tolkien made a version that looks and sounds like a crispy biscuit. She used almonds, citrus, and lavender to create the sweetness and it does sound perfect for a second breakfast. Still, another blogger at Wasted Lands Fantasy went with walnuts as his nut of choice and used apples to create his sweet version of this bread. He notes that your lembas should be rectangular in shape, healthy, and hearty.
