Ingredients
½ cup honey
2 cardamom pods
1 cinnamon stick
1 lemon peel
½ inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
Directions
In a saucepan, combine the honey with 1 cup of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the honey completely.
Lightly crack the cardamom pods to release their flavor and add them to the honey mixture along with the cinnamon stick, lemon peel, and ginger slices.
Simmer the mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the spices and ginger to infuse the honey syrup with their aromatic flavors.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the infusion cool to room temperature, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
Strain the cooled syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a glass, pressing gently on the solids to extract all the flavored liquid. Discard the solids.
Add ice cubes to the glass and top with cold water or carbonated water to reach your desired level of dilution. Stir well and serve immediately.
