Our richly fragrant Cardamom Extract is a beautiful take on the traditional extract, made with our cardamom seeds from Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. A beautiful golden color, this extract can be swapped 1:1 for vanilla extract.
It's excellent in baked goods, drinks, puddings, coffee and anywhere else you want a splash of tropical cardamom flavor. Add a botanical burst to your favorite martini, or make a refreshing, citrusy cocktail, with or without alcohol.
This extract is a slow-crafted custom blend made in collaboration with Bittercube. They expertly infuse our cardamom seeds in alcohol to make a deeply flavorful, versatile extract. Use it anywhere you'd use vanilla extract, in an equal amount.
