How to Brew Coffee Like an Arab

Coffee is an art, not a science. you don’t have to be a coffee nerd to get it right. It is easier than you think :)

The only must-have: Very finely ground coffee with … cardamom (yes, you’ve read that right!).

Jadhwa

A highly recommended tool: A Jadhwa, also known as Dalleh— a specially shaped, tiny pot with a long handle. If you don’t have one, you can still get your brew on; just use the smallest pot you’ve got.

• Add cold water to your Dalleh, leaving a bit of room at the top
• Thoroughly mix in 2 teaspoons of super-fine coffee grounds
• Mix in the sugar (to taste); Arabs never add it after brewing
• Put your Dalleh on medium heat and let it boil up and rise. No need to sir. Just one boil is recommended, allowing the crucial foam (crema) to reach the top.
• Pour the coffee into a small espresso-like cup, letting the grounds settle
