Step-by-Step Guide to Making Arabic Coffee at Home
Let us walk through the way of making traditional Arabic Coffee.
Step 1: Fix the Coffee pot or Briki
Briki is a small pot used for making Arabic coffee. The first step in preparing Arabic Coffee is to set up the Briki on the stove with water. You can add sugar if you want. If you do not have Briki, you can use a saucepan or a convenient pot.
Step 2: Let the water boil and make the coffee ground
If your coffee is not ground, you must prepare it using a coffee grinder.
Step 3: Add Cardamom and Coffee
When the water boils, carefully add your cardamom and ground coffee.
Step 4: Boil again
After adding Cardamom and Coffee, you need to shake it slightly so that it mixes well with the water. The mixture will turn into foam; you must keep a close eye because it happens very quickly. When the foam starts to increase, you must prevent it from pouring outside.
You have to cook on low heat to brew the coffee at this stage. Boil it on low heat for about 15-18 minutes.
Step 5: Take off the heat and let the coffee settle
Remove the coffee from the stove to settle it to the bottom.
Step 6: Add cloves and Saffron
After removing it from the stove, you can add ground cloves and small pinches of Saffron if you want.
Step 7: Set up Dallah
First, have to put rosewater in the empty Dallah if you want to add it. Then pour your coffee into the Dallah. If you want, you can use a strainer at this stage.
Step 8: Serve and enjoy
Finally, serve the coffee in Demitasse. Almond sauce or Dates can be served with Arabic Coffee.
Finally, your Arabic Coffee is ready to drink. Enjoy it.
