A fragrant and warming Indian-style spiced honey, infused with cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. This versatile condiment adds a delightful aromatic twist to teas, desserts, and breakfast dishes.
Prepare the spices. Gently press down on the green cardamom pods with the flat side of a knife to slightly crush them. This helps release their aromatic oils.
In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the honey, cinnamon stick, crushed cardamom pods, and whole cloves.
Place the saucepan over the lowest possible heat. Warm the honey gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not let it simmer or boil; you should only see very small bubbles forming. The goal is to infuse the flavors without damaging the honey's properties.
Turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the spices steep in the warm honey for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense flavor, you can let it steep for up to 2 hours.
Once infused, pour the honey through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean, dry, airtight glass jar. Discard the whole spices.
Allow the honey to cool completely to room temperature before sealing the jar. Store in a cool, dark place. Use as a drizzle on yogurt, toast, pancakes, or as a sweetener in tea.
