Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee and Cardamom

    In a small bowl, measure out the Arabic coffee and crushed cardamom pods. Adjust the amount of cardamom based on your taste preference.

  2. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add Coffee and Cardamom

    Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from heat. Add the prepared Arabic coffee and crushed cardamom to the water. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Mixture

    Return the saucepan to low heat. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, ensuring not to let it boil over.

  5. 5

    Strain the Coffee

    After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat. Use a fine mesh strainer or a coffee pot to strain the coffee into a serving pot or individual cups, discarding the grounds and cardamom pods.

  6. 6

    Sweeten to Taste

    Add sugar to the strained coffee according to your taste preference. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
