Ingredients:
1-2 cups water
6 lightly pounded cardamom pods
3 tablespoons finely ground, dark roast coffee
Method:
Usually made in a dallah (coffee-pot made of brass with a bulbous body that tapers at the top and has a long, pointed spout, a curved handle and a high-domed lid). Can use a normal coffee pot. Pour water into pot and add cardamom pods and coffee. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Allow grounds to settle.
Serve coffee unsweetened in tiny, handless, bowl-shaped cups for an authentic feel. It is apparently bad manners to have only one cup. The general custom is to wiggle the cup in the right hand after the second cup of coffee to indicate you are done.
