The method

Step by step

  1. 1

    Combine the water, coffee grounds, cinnamon stick, green cardamom pods, ginger powder, and black pepper in a small saucepan.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: Crushing the cardamom pods slightly helps release their flavor.

  2. 2

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

    About 2 min

  3. 3

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    About 3 min

    Cook’s note: Do not let it boil vigorously, as this can make the coffee bitter.

  4. 4

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into serving cups.

    About 1 min

    Cook’s note: A French press can also be used to separate the grounds and spices.

  5. 5

    Add sugar to taste, if desired, and serve immediately.
