📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: You'll need fresh coffee beans, cardamom pods, water, and your choice of sweetener (honey or sugar).
- Grind the coffee beans: If you're using whole beans, grind them to a medium-fine consistency. This helps release the flavors properly. Honestly, the aroma alone is worth it!
- Prepare the cardamom: Lightly crush the cardamom pods to release their aroma. You can use the flat side of a knife or a mortar and pestle. I find this step oddly satisfying!
- Combine ingredients in saucepan: In a small saucepan, add the ground coffee, crushed cardamom pods, and water.
- Heat the mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, but don't let it boil. Watch closely!. That can make it bitter.
- Simmer briefly: Let the coffee simmer for about 3-4 minutes. This allows the cardamom to infuse its flavor into the coffee. The smell is absolutely divine!
- Remove from heat: Take the saucepan off the heat and let the coffee steep for another minute. This helps the grounds settle.
- Strain the coffee: Carefully strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve or a coffee filter into your favorite mug. This removes the coffee grounds and cardamom pieces.
- Sweeten to taste: Add your choice of sweetener, such as honey or sugar, to taste. Stir well until dissolved. I prefer a touch of honey – it complements the cardamom so well.
- Serve and enjoy: Sip slowly and savor the exotic flavors of your homemade cardamom coffee! It's a perfect way to start the day or enjoy a relaxing afternoon.
📝 Notes
- For a stronger cardamom flavor, gently crush the pods before adding them to the coffee.
- Use filtered water for the best taste.
