June here, your resident B&B newsletter writer, breaking the fourth wall today to share with you my spice fixation of the moment, cardamom. To me, it tastes exactly like how the days dancing between spring and summer feel. The first layer of flavor is flowers, a bouquet of wild roses and peach blossoms. Then, a cooling breeze of sweet mint, carried by the saunter of gingery warmth, fluttering seductively in the in-between of hot and cold.

Cardamom is most beautiful when paired with dairy; bloomed in butter, or steeped in milk. It’s irresistible in rice pudding. The florality comes to life as you stir the pot, perfuming the entire kitchen with the sweet, lush scent of romance. Use short-grain rice and you won’t need to add any eggs to thicken to perfection. Top with some ripe fruit and you won’t need to add more than a tablespoon of sugar to the whole batch.

Jammy, fragrant apricots are a match made in heaven with creamy cardamom. So, too, is a little texture contrast. For a taste of crunch, you can make a 10-minute stovetop granola with just 4 ingredients, no oven necessary. The technique is simple: butter, sugar, cardamom and oats all toast together over low heat until the sugar begins to melt into a caramel.

Stir to coat the oats with the cardamom-infused caramel, and you’ll have a small batch of granola that’s perfect for breakfast for one, or for topping your rice pudding or morning yogurt.

Of course, no breakfast is complete without coffee. There’s cardamom in here too: whether you prefer to drip, pour, French, or cold brew, try adding a bit of Ground Cloud Forest Cardamom to your coffee grinds before they hit the water. Add a splash of milk. See if you can smell the roses in your cup.

GRAB THE BIG CONTAINER

Cardamom is one of those spices that can chameleon itself into any dish. Beyond the sweet, it's deliciously aromatic in deeply savory pilau spiced rice, hearty lamb dishes, lentil stews, beef curry and roast chicken. The small jar goes fast once you start experimenting!
