also thought this was great but a little too sweet. will halv sugar next time! was away for the holidays and didn't have any cardamom pods so improvised and put about a tsp or so in a coffee filter and tied with a twist tie (should of put the cloves in there too!) used captain nelson spiced rum and topped with whipped cream in a can. tell ya what, it sure didn't last long! brought back some memories for an uncle who hadn't had it homemade since '88! THANKS Rita!!

I found the spices right, but the amount of sugar was too much and it was too runny for my tastes. With a few mods, I enjoyed it.

This was very yummy but looked quite nasty - like a jus. It was also super, dooper sweet.
