Cardamom Syrup

Cardamom syrup — green or black cardamom pods steeped in sugar syrup, yielding warm-spice, eucalyptus-mint, and citrus-pine aromatics with mild bittering. Used in modern Indian/Middle-Eastern-inspired cocktails, gin sours with cardamom, mezcal builds with spice depth, and chai-leaning hot cocktails. Distinct from generic spice syrups by cardamom's specific resinous-citrus profile.
