Traditionally these candies are colored with saffron and served with tea, but you can also replace the saffron with various food colorings to make the candies more festive looking.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon wine vinegar
  • <

Method

  1. Spread some parchment paper on the counter.
  2. Melt the sugar in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat. Add the vinegar, the cardamom seeds, and saffron water, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until caramelized.
  3. Once the syrup has caramelized, use a spoon to drip teaspoon-sized dollops of syrup on the paper, 2 in/5cm apart from each other.
