CardamomCardamome

Member of the ginger family, this aromatic spice, is native of India and grows in many other

tropical areas, including Asia, South America, and the Pacific Islands. Cardamom seeds are encapsulated in small pods about the size of

a cranberry. Each pod contains between 17 to 20 seeds. Cardamom is either used as pods

or ground to powder. It is one of the most expensive spices after saffron.

Cardamom has a pungent aroma and a warm, spicy-sweet flavour. It is mainly used to flavour food and drinks from the typical Indian Byriani dish to a flavoured tea in the Middle East and

delicious pastries and breads in Northern Europe. It is also used as a medicine to cure

digestion and teeth problems.

MONIN Cardamom syrup will bring a taste of India to your favourites coffee and tea

applications, no more grounding… just pour it and enjoy !

MONIN Cardamome has a unique taste and intense aromatic fragrance, especially, if you mix it with MONIN Rose syrup, for example, in a tea latte. But my suggestion will definitely go to a Cardamom Iced Coffee Latte. With its powerful aroma, MONIN Cardamom syrup will prevail against the coldness of the milk to bring flavours, spices, and make your drink phenomenal. Another of my favourites will also be a Mango Cardamom Smoothie. You just have to mix the fruitiness of the Mango with the spicy fragrance of the cardamom and add a twist of lime in the blender for the freshness. You will really be amazed by its aromatic and velvety sensation in your palate.
