When I was in Little Rock with my friends, we sampled this delightful iced cardamom coffee that I just had to re-create. I also thought that while I was figuring that out, I would make it a clean eating coffee creamer because frankly, most creamers out there have processed sugar and hydrogenated oils in them. I have been able to break myself from the creamer need, but this is so tasty and not filled with junk that I don't mind.
Cardamom Almond Coffee Creamer
1 1/2 C Half and Half
1/4 C raw sugar
1 tsp cardamom powder (or seeds from 5 cardamom pods, crushed)
1/2 tsp pure almond extract
Directions:
- Mix together half and half with raw sugar in a small saucepan
- Whisk in cardamom and extract while cooking over medium-low heat
- Continue whisking periodically (to avoid cooking to the bottom) while mixture cooks and is steaming and frothy (about 15 minutes)
- Remove from heat and allow to cool
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container
This looks so nice-I might try using almond cream instead of dairy... thanks for sharing. Clean eating versions of yummy stuff are always the best!

ReplyDeleteI'm not really much of a coffee drinker, but the few times I do drink it, it has to b flavored. This is one I will have to try.
