Customise your coffee's sweetness
Our cardamom coffee recipe suggests a hint of raw sugar for sweetness. Natural sweeteners like maple syrup, brown sugar or honey are also great alternatives and will add an interesting twist to the coffee’s flavour profile. Begin with a small amount and add to taste, ensuring your coffee's sweetness suits your preference perfectly.
Ice, ice, baby: cold cardamom indulgence
To make a chilled cardamom coffee, simply use cold coffee and milk. To recreate an equally velvety foam topping, add the cold milk and cardamom to a mason jar and shake vigorously until frothy. Consider using a simple syrup (dissolving equal parts water and sugar) instead of granulated cane sugar to ensure a balanced sweetness in every sip.
Easy steps to boost the flavours
The key to a distinctive cardamom coffee is the freshness of the spice. Use whole cardamom seeds and grind them just before you brew to capture their essence and essential oils. Toasting the ground cardamom is another simple step that will release the spice's aromatic oils, enhancing its fragrance and taste. Simply heat the cardamom in a pan over low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning, until its aroma intensifies and it's lightly toasted.
You can also adjust the flavour by choosing different coffee roasts: a darker roast will highlight the cardamom's spiciness, while a medium roast brings out its citrusy notes.
Spicy presentations and pairings
Serve your cardamom coffee in a clear glass to showcase the beautiful layers of coffee and froth. This not only looks inviting but also lets you enjoy the full beauty of the drink. Pair the coffee with flavours that match its warmth like a slice of orange for a zesty contrast or almond biscotti for a satisfying crunch. A cinnamon roll makes a sweet and spicy companion, mirroring the spice in the coffee.
