Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Finely ground Arabic coffee (light roast)
• 2.5 cups Cold water
• 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 1 teaspoon Rose water

Directions

Step 1

In a dallah (traditional Arabic coffee pot) or a small saucepan, pour in 2.5 cups of cold water.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of finely ground Arabic coffee to the water and stir gently to combine.

Step 3

Place the dallah or saucepan over medium heat and slowly bring the mixture to a boil. Avoid stirring during the cooking process.

Step 4

Once the coffee begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse deeply.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom to the coffee. Stir gently and let it simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the coffee from the heat and let it sit for 1 minute to allow the grounds to settle at the bottom.

Step 7

Add 1 teaspoon of rose water to the coffee and stir lightly. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of sugar for a hint of sweetness.

Step 8

Strain the coffee through a fine mesh strainer or pour carefully into traditional Arabic coffee cups, leaving the grounds behind.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, floral aroma of Arabic coffee with rose water.
