5 cardamom pods
1 pound (about 2) ripe red pears
6 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Combine vanilla, cardamom, sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Roughly chop the pears (reserving a few slices for garnish) and add to the pan. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Let cool. Strain and stir in apple cider vinegar. Refrigerate. Line glasses with pear slices, fill halfway with vinegar mixture and top with club soda.
