Serving Size: 16
DESCRIPTION
Cardamom syrup is one of the most convenient ways to enhance the flavor of your drinks or desserts. Easy to make with just 3 simple ingredients. Add this sweet spice to your iced tea, coffee or drizzle it over your oatmeal/desserts.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 tablespoon cardamom seeds
METHOD
- Roughly grind cardamom seeds using a mortar and pestle.
- Heat water in a saucepan over high-medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Once it starts to boil, then reduce the heat to low. Add cardamom seeds and let them them simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add sugar and stir till it dissolves. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, then turn off the heat and let it cool down and steep for an hour.
- Use a metal sieve to strain the syrup into a mason jar or an air tight jar.
NOTES
- Don’t let it boil: You just need to heat the simple syrup until all the sugar crystals melt. Boiling the sugar can lead to bitter and burnt flavors.
- Don’t stir too much: Try not to stir the mixture too much as it can cause the formation of sugar crystals.
- Use fresh cardamom: For the best results, make sure your cardamom pods are fresh and fragrant.
