I was intrigued by an orange cardamom cold brew post I saw on Pinterest, why had I never considered this combination? I love the flavor of cardamom, so it was only a natural to use the flavors as inspiration for a simple syrup recipe. A few weeks ago, I bought coconut palm sugar and have been planning on trying simple syrup. This recipe uses half coconut sugar and half regular sugar. Feel free to use all regular sugar if you don't have coconut on hand.
I'm using this in milky black tea as a sweetener and will definitely use it to make a Cardamom Orange Latte later this weekend! The orange flavor is surprisingly subtle once cooled which gives way for the stronger cardamom to shine through. I bet this would be great drizzled over a sponge cake to add an extra punch of flavor or drizzled over vanilla ice cream for an extra special touch.
