Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cinnamon Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water, and ground cinnamon. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Infuse Cardamom

    While the syrup is cooling, lightly crush the black cardamom pods to release their flavor. Add them to the cooled cinnamon syrup and let it steep for about 10 minutes. Strain the syrup to remove the cardamom pods.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Ginger

    In a separate cup, mix the grated ginger with a small amount of hot water to extract its flavor. Let it steep for 5 minutes and then strain it to remove the ginger pulp.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large glass, combine the Baba's espresso, the infused cinnamon syrup (to taste), and the ginger extract. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the drink warm in an elegant glass. Optionally, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a slice of ginger for an extra touch.
