Cardamom rose iced coffee - the warmth of cardamom spice and the floral notes of rose meet in this earthy, delicate Persian-style coffee cocktail.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups of coffee, chilled
  • ⅔ cup of milk (I recommend using low or full-fat milk)
  • 2 tablespoons cardamom pods, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon rosewater
  • Ice cubes
Instructions
  1. Make 2 cups of coffee by your favorite method. Chill until cold.
  2. Using the back of a wooden spoon or mallet, crush the cardamom pods so they split open.
  3. Add the cardamom and milk to a small saucepan and heat over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Milk should be very fragrant at this point - add the rosewater and continue to stir over the heat for another 5-10 minutes.
  5. Strain and discard the cardamom pods from the milk.
  6. Chill the milk until cold.
  7. Add ice cubes to a coffee cup. Fill the cup ⅔ of the way with coffee, then the remainder with milk.
  8. Stir and enjoy!
