Ingredients

5 cardamom pods, gently crushed to open
½ cup water
½ cup sugar
1 one inch lemon peel
1 one inch orange peel
1 cinnamon stick
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the crushed cardamom pods and lightly toast for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add water, sugar, lemon peel, orange peel, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bing to boil. Then turn down heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until it reaches a syrup-like consistency. Remove from the heat and let the syrup cool completely.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the syrup into an airtight bottle or mason jar.
Keep stored in the refrigerator.

Notes

Use fresh cardamom: To ensure its flavor is at its best.

Adjust the ratio: Simple syrup combines equal parts sugar & water, simmering only until the sugar dissolves. Rich syrup uses a 2:1 ratio for a thicker, richer syrup (and extra natural preservative power). Alternatively, simmer the syrup to thicken and reduce it slightly.

Don’t boil it: Bring the syrup to the point of ‘just’ boiling and immediately lower it to a simmer. Otherwise, it can cause a bitter/ burned flavor.

To make low-sugar cardamom syrup: While using a sugar alternative is possible, the syrup will be thinner, and the shelf life may be affected.
