Elettaria cardamomum Cardamom is a distinctive spice from the same family as ginger. Its flavor, which has been described as a "spicy cola", combines well with coriander, cumin and orange, and often all are used together in specialty Belgian and Holiday Style beer. Use 1/2 tsp. in a five gallon batch of beer. The darker, more heavily bodied and hopped the beer is, the more cardamom can be used. Add directly to the boil and boil for 10 minutes. 1/2 tsp added to the secondary ferment contributes to aroma.  Cardamom is also used to spice coffee.
