Cardamom is a pungent aromatic spice. The fruit of a perennial herb in the ginger family know as Elettaria - commonly called green cardamom, is mostly grown in India. It is perhaps one of the worlds most expensive spices (after saffron and vanilla). You can find it ground and or in pods in small jars in most grocery stores. If you happen to go to India - bring home a big jar full of the dried pods which contain the black seeds.
Directions:
For one cup of coffee: Grind 3 - 4 pods of cardamom in with coffee beans. (Or add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom to freshly ground coffee.) Put all in a drip maker over your coffee mug, add a tiny pinch of salt and pour in boiled water. Let the liquid filter through completely. Add milk or sweetener if you prefer - or drink black.
