Orange Cardamom Cappuccino

I came up with this recipe on a whim, not expecting it to be so delicious. This cappuccino is flavored with my orange cardamom syrup, a simple syrup with a just a few modifications. It's incredibly delicious, and this cappuccino would be the perfect treat after a long day skiing. It really reminds me of days spent holiday shopping at City Creek Mall in Salt Lake City for some reason. I hope you try it out! You can watch me make the drink in this TikTok video:
