Honey Rose Cardamom Syrup Ingredients
- 1/2 cup filtered water
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 8 whole green cardamom pods, gently crushed
- 1 heaped tablespoon dried rose petals, crushed
- Combine Ingredients: Add the raw honey and filtered water to a small pot. Gently crush the cardamom pods with a knife or spoon to crack them open, releasing their flavor, then add the crushed cardamom and dried rose petals to the pot.
- Simmer the Syrup: Set the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 3 minutes to infuse the flavors thoroughly.
- Steep and Strain: Turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid or a towel, allowing the syrup to steep and develop its aromatic flavors for 30 minutes. After steeping, strain the syrup through a fine sieve into a clean small bottle or jar to remove the cardamom pods and rose petals.
- Store Properly: Refrigerate the syrup and use it within 2 weeks for optimal freshness and flavor.
- Enjoy: Use the syrup to sweeten tea, coffee, oatmeal, pancakes, yogurt, or desserts, enhancing them with its floral and spiced notes.
Notes
- Use raw honey for the best flavor and health benefits.
- Ensure the cardamom pods are gently crushed to release their essential oils without pulverizing them completely.
- If dried rose petals are unavailable, edible rose water can be used as an alternative but adjust quantity to taste.
- Store the syrup in a sterilized glass container to prolong shelf life.
- This syrup is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian friendly.
