• Make the cold brew concentrate ahead of time - it keeps in the fridge for up to a week
• Lightly crush the cardamom pods with the flat side of a knife to release more flavor
• For a stronger spice flavor, add the whole spices to the cold brew while it chills
• Try different ice cream flavors like cinnamon or caramel for variation
• The cold brew concentrate can be used for regular iced coffee too - just dilute with water or milk
