Fresh Lemon and Cardamom Infusion

Citrus limonum is a thorny, evergreen tree with irregular branches bearing glistening, oval leaves. Its flowers are white and pink-tinged and strongly perfumed, which become the lemon fruit. Cardamom is part of the ginger family. Fruits from the shrub are dried slowly to prevent them from bursting open and losing their seeds. Its scent is sweet and spicy.
