How to Make Omani Coffee
- **Roast the Beans:** In a thick skillet over medium-high heat, roast 2 tablespoons of finely ground dark roast coffee beans, stirring constantly, until they are a rich dark brown (about 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to burn them.
- **Infuse with Cardamom:** Add 1 teaspoon of lightly crushed green cardamom pods and the roasted coffee beans to 1 ½ cups of boiling water in a small saucepan.
- **Boil and Simmer:** Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Continue to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- **Steep and Strain:** Remove from heat and cover the pot. Allow the coffee to steep for another 3-4 minutes.
- **Add Cloves:** Carefully add 2-3 whole cloves to your coffee thermos.
- **Strain and Transfer:** Strain the hot coffee through a fine-mesh sieve into the thermos. Make sure to press down on the grounds with a spoon to extract as much flavor as possible.
- **Rest and Serve:** Allow the coffee to rest in the thermos for 10 minutes. Avoid shaking the thermos to prevent sediment from stirring.
- **Sweeten and Enjoy:** Pour into small cups, filling them only about one-fourth full. Sweeten to your taste. Serve with dates for a traditional Omani experience. Remember to shake your cup when you've had enough as a sign to your host!
