A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
Shelf life: Whole pods sealed: a year or more. Ground: the aroma fades within weeks — grind small batches.
Storage: Airtight, dark and dry, away from strong odours.
- Karak — pods simmered in with the tea
- The signature aromatic of Arabic coffee
- Cardamom-infused house syrup
Crack the pods lightly just before they go in — pre-ground loses the top notes fast. For karak, the cracked pods join the tea for the simmer.
