SCANDINAVIAN CARDAMOM TEA LOAF

Scandinavian Cardamom Tea Loaf image

I think I may have mentioned a time or two how much I like the flavor of cardamom. Here is an old recipe that I haven't made in years, it came to mind when I made the Earl Grey Tea Loaf I pinched from on here today. I will have to bake a few and put them in the freezer for those days when we are looking for something to go with...
