Cardamom Lime Syrup

I have the perfect holiday treat for you! I have recreated my favorite cocktail syrup at home (If you don’t feel like making this you can buy it here) and it’s so easy! This is great for a cocktail or just to spice up some seltzer water. Fun item to bottle up and give as a gift as well! Bonus; it is refined sugar free!
