Like real vanilla 👍

This product is an amazing additive to my hot tea (Shoutout to all my Persian tea drinkers out there!) I have also used it in cooking and baking. What I love about it is the strong aroma that is extremely pleasant. A couple of dops go a long way. I now have a monthly subscription for it, and I'm loving it!

You don’t need a lot of this to taste it! I add a couple of drops of this into my iced chai at home and definitely shifts the taste with just 2 drops. Adding 4 to 5 drops makes the drink taste different, almost sweeter? It’s hard to describe but it tastes good nonetheless! It’s very concentrated tho so I recommend only using 2 drops if you use it for your chais. The bottle is small but will go a long way since you don’t need many drops for each drink.

This concentrate is very strong! One drop is too much for a cup of coffee (I was combining oat milk, sweeter of either simple syrup or honey, and one drop of this). I have found that putting 1-2 drops in a container that includes the oat milk for my coffee for the next 3-4 days is best. It would be nice to not need a separate container, but I was glad I could find a solution. Another solution I found is using flavored creamer that cardamom would taste good in and directly adding drops (be sure to shake the carton after adding them!) I did this with flavored oat milk creamer (the brown sugar oat milk creamer from TJs). 3-4 drops is what I prefer per pint but I would recommend starting with 1-2 and adding as you figure out how strong you like the cardamom. Also, regarding the flavor of this cardamom, there is a distinct aftertaste and it is not as good as using "actual" cardamom. However, it is a great alternative for drinks and such, just not a perfect substitution. I also am planning to bake with it soon and am excited to see how the flavor profile compares to when I've used "true" cardamom.

good quality, bottle leaks

I really like this stuff! I was in an accident a few years ago and damage to my nose and sinuses, so I have almost no sense of taste or smell. But, a couple drops of this stuff in a cup of coffee and it is strong enough for me to actually taste it! Ahhh, I can enjoy a pumpkin spice coffee again!My only negative comment would be that you pay quite a bit for very little actual product...

The product recommends starting with one drop in your coffee. I couldn't taste any peppermint at all, so I put a second drop. Then a third, then a fourth, then a fifth, then a 6th and then I decided that was enough waste because there still was no peppermint taste even after shaking the bottle. I did everything it said to do. I couldn't even smell peppermint. To give them the benefit of the doubt, that it might be me, I will say, buy at your own risk.

I consider myself a chai connoisseur. I have tried so many ways to replicate the flavors I have tried , some at a friend's , some from a street vendor in India. It's been a life long enthusiastic pursuit. So when I make chai, I always use whole spices, mortar pestle. I was skeptic to try this. And i decided to buy this just because it got cumbersome making spice packets and carrying to work or having to pound or grate spices when guests are there (well it does give the vibe of authenticity when a guest seems to notice you are taking pains to make them a delicious cup.This product loves up to it's quality and name to a "T" , pun- intended. I bought the Hyderabad kadhak and lemongrass, I tried the Hyderabad kadhak. And what a difference it makes to the chai and I just had to boil tea bag and milk. Usually I have all sorts of spices in the tea water but this time I just had to remove the tea bag. Thank you for making this product, it's so compact, I can take it with me to work. I read the manufacturing location and was filled with glee seeing it's from my home state in India :)
