Vanilla Cardamom Latte Recipe - Delicous and Easy

This Vanilla Cardamom Latte Recipe is not only delicious, but it’s also something that is extremely simple to make! It is one of my favorite cardamom recipes.

Looks delicious right?!

I’ve recently become a huge fan of espresso drinks (like this Maple Latte). I don’t know why I’ve never enjoyed expresso drinks before.

As I get older, I’ve noticed I’m slowly going back to trying things I didn’t like when I was a kid. Most of the time I end up enjoying them. Is that weird?

I didn’t know much about cardamom but had seen it in the stores quite a bit. I noticed it also started appearing on the local coffee shop menu. Since I kept seeing cardamom everywhere, I wanted to see what all the hubbub was about.

After some quick searching, I found out that cardamom actually has a lot of antioxidants. Another plus for enjoying a cardamom latte!

What is Cardamom

Cardamom is a spice that actually comes from plants in the ginger family. It has kind of a spicy, minty flavor with a hint of citrus. It’s a unique taste and strong aroma that can be hard to put your finger on unless you are familiar with cardamom.

You can ground up the cardamom or use it as a whole. Obviously, with coffee, you will want to use ground cardamom. It’s also used in a variety of different Indian recipes.

I did not know this but there are three kinds of cardamom. Green cardamom, which is probably what you see at the supermarket, is great for both sweet and savory dishes. White cardamom is just the bleached version of the green cardamom and isn’t as flavorful. Black cardamom is mainly used for more savory dishes because it has a smokey flavor to it.
