Description
This honey rose cardamom syrup is luxurious and magical. It’s perfect for adding a subtle floral sweetness to coffee, tea, or anything else you like! If you need to make it vegan, you can easily substitute sugar for the honey.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 1/2 cup raw local honey
- 8 whole green cardamom pods
- 1 heaped tbsp of crushed dried rose petals
Instructions
Add the honey and water to a small pot. Using a knife or a spoon, gently crush each cardamom so that they crack open a bit. Add the crushed cardamom pods and the dried rose to the pot along with the water and honey.
Set the pot over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid or towel so that the flavors can develop as the syrup steeps. Allow the syrup to steep for 30 minutes, then strain the syrup into a small bottle or jar.
Keep the syrup in the fridge and make sure to use it within 2 weeks. Use the syrup to sweeten tea, coffee, oatmeal, pancakes, yogurt, etc.
Notes
- If you cannot consume honey or you’d like to make this syrup completely vegan, substitute an equal amount of cane sugar in place of the honey.
- If you don’t have access to local honey, use whatever honey you like!
