    Here are the items you will need:

    • Cardamom simple syrup
      • (organic cane sugar, cardamom seeds, cinnamon stick, vanilla, and lemon)
    • Angostura bitters
    • Lemon peel

    Once you infuse your simple syrup, you'll have extra to make cocktails for another time.

    Or, add the cardamom syrup to coffee, tea, or baked goods!

    Here's how to make this old-fashioned drink:

    1. Make a batch of Cardamom Simple Syrup.
    2. Add simple syrup and bitters to an old fashioned glass.
