I made this recipe years and years ago after checking this book out of the library. Unfortunately I couldn't remember which cookbook held the recipe. It took me 3 years to find it again.

Did I like it? Absolutely! It's a great dessert beverage with out alcohol or caffeine.

Recipe
In a pot combine: 4 cups water, 2 inch piece of peeled and chopped ginger root, 6 T dark brown sugar, 12 lightly crushed green cardamom pods. Bring to a boil, then simmer about 20-25 minutes tasting for desired potency.
