It can be made without them, of course, since it is a personal mix of warm spices, but it will taste distinctly different from most blends, as cardamom is one of the traditional ingredients.

You don't have to have both types of cardamom though, if that's what you mean?

Hi Guest

I'm the same with some flavours -- when it's a flavour we dislike, I think it stands out far more for us and easily becomes overwhelming!

Glad you liked your adapted version!
