The one change worth mentioning (and this is true too of the gingerbread latte) is that it works better with whole spices. Ground spices give the beverage a silty texture. Use whole spices and strain them out at the end. (Straining lets you use loose-leaf tea, too, if you prefer). <Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11227205049799828956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-359773483325170222010-01-21T08:32:49.503-08:002010-01-21T08:32:49.503-08:00This is way late, but you can buy a quarter pound ...This is way late, but you can buy a quarter pound of cardamom seeds at an Indian grocery store for about the same as one of those little jars in the supermarket.
