How To Make The Syrup? 

Start by washing and drying the strawberries. Later cut them into pieces. The shape of pieces is up to you and the desert you will add it into.

Add cardamom pod seeds in a small mortar and pestle,( not the whole cardamom) and saffron. Crush it until the cardamom seeds are turned into semi-fine powder.

Cover and refrigerate it for 30 minutes at least. After 30 minutes, your syrup is ready to use.

Now, isn’t this simple. My 8-year-old made this recipe on her own under my instructions for the first time. She feels like her mama now.

The syrup is perfect for involving kids in the kitchen and cooking.

Some Frequently Asked Questions About The Recipe:

Can I substitute sugar with other natural sweeteners?

I will say, it is up to you. I will make sure the sweetener does not have a strong aroma and flavor that will dilute the flavor of saffron and cardamom.

Can I make the recipe ahead?

Few hours ahead, for sure. But not a day or two earlier. The strawberries will lose their color and texture.
