How to Make Mombasa Coffee
- In a small saucepan, gently crush 3 whole cardamom pods, 1 cinnamon stick (2 inches), and 3 whole cloves to release their aromas.
- Add 2 cups of water to the saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and add the crushed spices. Simmer for 10 minutes to infuse the water with their flavors.
- Add 1/2 cup of coarsely ground coffee (medium to dark roast recommended) to the saucepan.
- Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and let the coffee steep for 5 minutes.
- Carefully pour the coffee into a serving pot. Do not strain; leave the spices in for added warmth and flavor.
- Allow the coffee grounds to settle completely (about 5-10 minutes).
- Gently pour the Mombasa Coffee into small cups, avoiding disturbing the settled grounds.
- (Optional) For a more convenient brewing method, add the whole spices and coffee grounds to the filter basket of an automatic coffee maker and brew as usual.
