Wonderful! I just made a batch. I included 10 rose buds, 2 red peppers and a bit extra both green and black cardamom. It smells heavenly. I going to make a pot of something with it now!!

Excellent recipe; I have been trying locally for this and no luck. I believe the ingredients list can be varied according to personal preference so I am not bothered that I can't find everything and will substitute as necessary.
