Coffee Recipes

Arabian Coffee

A lightly spiced coffee made traditionally, without any filtering. It takes a bit of practice to serve unfiltered coffee while keeping the grounds in the pot.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pint water
• 3 tbs. ground coffee
• 3 tbs. sugar
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp cardamom
• 1 tsp vanilla

PREPARATION:

Heat all ingredients in a saucepan until foam starts to form on top (do not boil). Serve immediately. To keep it traditional, don't pour coffee through a filter

Cafe con Miel

Honey has a wonderful flavor, as well as adding some natural sweetness to your cup of coffee. It doesn't take much to change the whole feeling of your cup.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups hot coffee
• 1/2 cup milk

4 tbs. honey

1/8 tsp cinnamon

PREPARATION:

Heat everything until warm, but not boiling. Stir well to dissolve the honey, and serve.
Serves 3-4

Café de Olla

A sweet coffee drink, made with chocolate and cloves. Preparation is a bit unusual. You steep the coffee grounds with the other ingredients instead of traditional brewing.

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 cups water
• 4 oz ground coffee
• 4 oz brown sugar
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 3 cloves, whole
• 1 square of semi-sweet chocolate

PREPARATION:

Boil water in a saucepan, then add cinnamon, cloves, sugar and chocolate. When the mixture comes to a boil, skim off foam. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then add coffee. Steep for 5 minutes then serve.
