What should I do with raw green cardamom pods? Anyone?

I have a nice little pouch of green cardamom pods. They look uncooked. Has anyone tried grinding them? I'd love to use them up in something nice but have no idea where to start. Any advice/suggestions welcome.

If you like to make an raw almond, chia pudding you can add a little cardamom to it. Gives it a slightly Indian slant.

Soak in water in a sunny window for sun tea, I'd add the other spices found in chai tea for something very flavourful.

i tried it as a base for some of my "rootbeer" just soaked whole (I admit, i got impatient and nuked it for a half a minute, though the cold soaking for the minute i waited actually did flavor the water a little) nice and spicy tone with no caffeine.

whole raw cardamom pod
brown sugar
teensy bit rootbeer extract

i cold steeped about a tablespoon of seedpods in the 2 cups of water in the fridge overnight - not bad with the rootbeer extract and brown sugar - like a kicked up vitamin water. (herbally it's sounds to be good for you, well, me at least) it's got a fairly strong flavor of the cardamom

ooh, i love this. thank you coco for the idea. i made a big thing of it, i'm calling it rootbeer tonic, and it actually today tasted like the sweet tea from Wendy's. (except less sugar and no caffeine)
