Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients: finely ground Arabic coffee, water, cardamom pods, and sugar.

  2. 2

    Boil the Water

    In a small pot or cezve, bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add the Coffee

    Once the water is boiling, add the finely ground Arabic coffee to the pot.

  4. 4

    Add Cardamom

    Crush the cardamom pods slightly to release their flavor and add them to the coffee mixture.

  5. 5

    Stir and Simmer

    Stir the mixture well and allow it to come to a simmer. Be careful not to let it boil over.

  6. 6

    Remove from Heat

    Once you see the coffee begin to foam, remove the pot from heat to prevent it from overflowing.

  7. 7

    Add Sugar

    Add sugar to taste and stir until dissolved, then return the pot to heat for a brief moment.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Pour the coffee into small cups, making sure to leave the grounds at the bottom of the pot.
