How to Make Homemade Ginger Cardamom Soda With Lime
- Gently toast 1 teaspoon of cardamom pods in a small, dry pot over medium heat until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 inch piece of peeled and thinly sliced fresh ginger, and the zest of 1 lime to the pot.
- Return the pot to medium heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, discarding the solids.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 ounce of the ginger cardamom syrup and 1/2 ounce of fresh lime juice.
- Add ice to the shaker.
- Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
- Fill two tall glasses with ice.
- Divide the soda mixture evenly between the two glasses.
- Top each glass with sparkling water, club soda, or sparkling cider.
- Gently stir and serve immediately. Enjoy!
