Coffee Ingredients

Optional Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Measure and Mix Ingredients

    In a small pot, measure out 1 cup of cold water and add 2 tablespoons of finely ground Arabica coffee beans, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom.

  2. 2

    Optional Flavoring

    If desired, add 1 teaspoon of rose water for an extra layer of flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the pot over medium heat and stir the mixture gently until it starts to simmer. Do not allow it to boil.

  2. 4

    Foam Formation

    Watch for the coffee to create a foamy layer on top. Once it starts to foam, remove it from the heat before it overflows.

  3. 5

    Repeat Heating

    Return the pot to the heat and allow it to simmer again. Remove from heat as it foams up again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to develop rich flavors.

Serving

  1. 6

    Pour and Garnish

    Carefully pour the coffee into small cups, allowing the grounds to settle at the bottom. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of roasted pine nuts on top.

  2. 7

    Enjoy

    Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the aromatic experience of Lebanese coffee.
