Instructions:

Helpful Tips and Variations:
- For an even more refreshing experience, serve in a chilled glass.
- If you prefer a non-sparkling version, you can use plain water instead of sparkling water.
- For a natural sweetener alternative, replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
- If cardamom is not readily available, try using a dash of ground cinnamon for a unique twist.
Storage and Substitutions:
Refrigerate any leftover Pineapple Cardamom Fizz base in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Refrain from adding sparkling water until ready to serve to maintain its effervescence. Fresh pineapple juice can be substituted with high-quality canned juice if fresh is unavailable. For a seasonal variation, swap pineapple juice with mango or orange juice.
Pairings and Complements:
This refreshing drink pairs exceptionally well with light and crispy snacks like vegetable spring rolls or fruit salad. For dessert, try pairing it with coconut macaroons or a slice of angel food cake for a delightful treat.
