Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Ground coffee
- 2 pods Cardamom pods
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Sugar (optional)
- 1 cups Water
Instructions
In a small saucepan or Turkish coffee pot (cezve), add 1 cup of water.
Crush the cardamom pods slightly with the back of a spoon to release their aroma, and add them to the pot.
Add 2 tablespoons of ground coffee, 1 teaspoon of sugar (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the pot.
Stir gently to combine and place the pot over medium heat.
Bring the coffee to a boil slowly, watching carefully to ensure it doesn't boil over. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Once the coffee foams and is about to boil, remove the pot from the heat and let it settle for a few seconds.
Repeat the process of bringing the coffee to a boil and removing it from the heat two more times to enhance the flavor.
Pour the coffee gently into a small cup, allowing the grounds to settle at the bottom.
Serve immediately and enjoy your aromatic Mediterranean coffee.
