Cardamom Bun

After its debut in the Masquerade and receiving rave reviews for this caffeine-free cardamom fruit blend/herbal, I had to rush to get Cardamom Bun on my website. When I sampled this tisane (an infusion of dried herbs beverage) it reminded me of a hug that a warm cinnamon bun has without the cinnamon and a little less sweet. The puffed rice provides just the right sweetness along with the green cardamom, apple, currant and chicory root.

Recommendation:

If serving this tisane iced, consider using an extra 1 1/2 teaspoon of tisane for every 6 – 8 ounces of water to provide more flavor. Melting ice will dilute the blend. You can also cold steep to maximize the flavor by filling a pitcher with the appropriate tepid water. Add the suggested amount of tisane either in a tea bag or an infuser and put the pitcher into the refrigerator for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Taste the tisane and if it’s to your liking, remove the herbs and serve.
