John Mccarthy'S Scotch Regency Punch Recipe

1. 1

   : Pulse cardamom pods in a spice grinder or small food processor until broken into large chunks. Combine water and cardamom in a small pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cardamom steep for 15 minutes. Add sugar and stir until completely dissolved. Allow to cool before using. For best results, keep cardamom pods in syrup overnight, then strain before using. Syrup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

2. 2

   Combine scotch, lemon juice, and syrup in a large punch bowl or pitcher. Chill in refrigerator. Serve each cup of punch over ice and top with soda water.
