How to Make Arabic Coffee With Rose Water

  1. Gently crush the cardamom pods. In a large saucepan, combine 6 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of cardamom powder.
  2. Heat the water over medium heat. Do not bring to a rolling boil.
  3. Before the water boils, add 1/2 cup of finely ground coffee. Stir gently but thoroughly several times to prevent scorching.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let the coffee settle undisturbed for 5-7 minutes. This allows the grounds to sink.
  6. Carefully pour the brewed coffee into a small kettle or pour-over pot, leaving the coffee grounds behind in the saucepan.
  7. Add the crushed cardamom pods and a pinch of saffron threads (if using) to the kettle.
  8. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of rose water, starting with the lower amount and adjusting to your taste preference.
  9. Gently heat the coffee in the kettle over low heat. Do not let it boil again.
  10. Once heated through, remove from heat and serve immediately in small, traditional Arabic coffee cups.
