This is an authentic recipe for the traditional style of coffee that is drunk in Bahrain. The key to a great cup of coffee is the ground coffee - if you can get Gulf Coffee then do so. Gulf Coffee is light / medium roasted beans which are then ground with cardamom & saffron. If you can't get Gulf Coffee then use a coffee which is as lightly roasted as possible & add a little extra cardamom & saffron to the coffee as you make it. Ingredients:
4 cups water (900ml - 1l approx) |
3 tablespoons gulf coffee |
1 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1/2 teaspoon saffron |
2 tablespoons rose water |
Directions:
1. Bring water to boil.
2. Add the coffee, cardamom, and saffron .simmer uncovered on low heat for 3 minutes.
3. Strain mixture into jug.
4. Bring mixture up to the boil again then remove from the heat. Add the rose water & pour into a coffee pot.
5. Serve in demi tasse coffee cups with dates, mixed nuts or pastries.
