Ingredients

• ◆5 3/4 oz lager
• ◆5 3/4 oz stout
• ◆5 pods, crushed cardamom

Method

1. 11. Crush 5 cardamom pods and steep them in 40 ml of cold lager for 5 minutes inside your shaker, then fine-strain the infused lager into a separate vessel.
2. 22. Chill a pint glass and fill it with the remaining plain lager.
3. 33. Pour the cardamom-infused lager gently into the glass and stir once to combine.
4. 44. Add two large ice cubes to lower the temperature without excessive dilution.
5. 55. Slowly pour the stout over the back of an inverted bar spoon held just above the surface, creating a dramatic dark layer on top.
6. 66. Serve immediately before the layers fully merge, instructing the drinker to sip through the stout into the spiced lager beneath.

Garnish — three freshly cracked cardamom seeds floated on the stout layer
