Green cardamom has a strong, spicy-sweet taste: a warm and aromatic fragrance, and flavor of lemony eucalyptus with a little camphor. It is delicious in mulled wine and spiced punch drinks, in pickles and with shellfish. It is more of a cooling spice and one of the most expensive spices by weight, but little is needed to impart the flavor. It gives tea a characteristic scented taste to flavor coffee.
