How to Make Pakistani Coffee With Cinnamon Cardamom

  1. Gently crush 3-4 green cardamom pods. In a medium saucepan, combine the crushed cardamom, coffee grounds, cinnamon stick, milk, and water.
  2. Add sugar to taste, if desired, or serve with sugar on the side for guests to adjust sweetness.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Using a ladle, carefully pour the simmering coffee from a height back into the saucepan. Repeat this process 20-30 times to create a frothy texture. (Note: While the original recipe suggests a much larger number of repetitions, 20-30 times will achieve a good froth without excessive effort.)
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. Strain the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a coffee pot or serving pitcher.
  8. Pour into cups and serve immediately, garnished with a cinnamon stick.
