How it is made

Cardamom sugar syrup is made by combining sugar, water, and crushed cardamom pods. The mixture is heated until the sugar dissolves, then allowed to steep to extract the cardamom's flavors before being cooled and bottled.

History

The use of cardamom in cooking and beverages dates back thousands of years, particularly in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. The practice of creating flavored syrups became popular in the cocktail culture of the late 19th century, allowing bartenders to experiment with various flavors, including cardamom.

In cocktails

Bartenders use cardamom sugar syrup to add a distinctive flavor to cocktails, often pairing it with spirits like gin, vodka, or rum. It can be used in both shaken and stirred drinks, and is also a great addition to non-alcoholic beverages. When serving, a small amount can be drizzled over the drink or mixed in to enhance the overall taste.

Worth knowing

Cardamom is often referred to as the 'queen of spices' due to its unique flavor and aroma.
