How to Make Traditional Bahraini Cardamom Coffee
- Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil in a small saucepan.
- Add 2 tablespoons of finely ground Gulf coffee (or light roast substitute), 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom, and a pinch of saffron threads (about 1/4 teaspoon).
- Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for 1 minute.
- Strain the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a heatproof jug or pitcher.
- Return the strained coffee to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil again, then remove immediately from the heat.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of rose water (optional).
- Pour the coffee into a traditional coffee pot or a small server.
- Serve immediately in small demi-tasse cups, accompanied by dates, mixed nuts, or pastries for a truly authentic experience.
