Cardamom, with its spicy, slightly lemony and resinous aromas, works wonders in syrup. This syrup is perfect for topping ice creams made with Ninja Creami, or for adding an exotic note to your drinks and desserts. If you are a fan of subtle and spicy flavors, this syrup will charm you.
Ingredients :
- 250 ml of water
- 200 g of sugar
- 6 green cardamom pods (slightly crushed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a little acidity)
Preparation :
- Heat the water and sugar
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. - Add the cardamom pods
Add the crushed cardamom pods to the pan. Let them infuse over low heat for about 10 minutes so that the cardamom releases all its spicy aromas into the syrup. - Add lemon juice (optional)
If you want to balance the sweetness of the syrup with a touch of acidity, add a tablespoon of lemon juice at the end of cooking. - Strain the syrup
Remove the pan from the heat and pass the syrup through a fine sieve to remove the cardamom pods. - Let it cool
Let the syrup cool to room temperature before pouring it into an airtight bottle. It keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week.
My Personal Tip:
This cardamom syrup is ideal for topping vanilla or yogurt ice cream made with Ninja Creami. For a bolder twist, try it with a mango or red fruit sorbet. It adds a spicy and fragrant touch that makes desserts even more delicious. If you want even more exoticism, add this syrup to an iced coffee or even a chai latte for an explosion of flavors!
This is a subtle and spicy syrup that will add an exotic and delicate touch to your Ninja Creami frozen creations. With this cardamom syrup, your desserts will be more refined and fragrant than ever!
