Cardamom coffee is prepared by adding cardamom to coffee beans while brewing them. Cardamom is especially popular for curing digestive disorders. It also provides a unique taste to dishes. This article provides some recipes for making the same.

There are two genus of cardamom, namely Elettaria and Amomum. Elettaria cardamom, commonly known as green cardamom, has a strong and unique taste with an aromatic fragrance, and is commonly used for spicing different recipes as well as sweets and drinks. Amomum cardamom, commonly known as black cardamom, has a strong, camphor-like flavor and smoky appearance due to the way it is dried. It is also used as a spice in different recipes, but not as a flavoring agent in sweets and drinks. Brewing tea or coffee with the green variant enhances the beverage's taste.
