Here is how to make one crazy pot of this stuff:
Grind up a bunch of light roast coffee till you have about 3/4 of a cup, or get some pre-ground. The finer the better, think powder.
Grind up some cardamom, about a 1/4 of a cup!
Grate some ginger, about a teaspoon.
If you are fancy get a 1/4 teaspoon of saffron.
Boil 3 cups of water on the stove, add coffee, cover, and continue to boil on a low heat for about 15 to 20 min.
Add cardamom, ginger, and your saffron. Let boil another 3 to 5 min.
Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes.
Pour into your thermos or coffee pot unfiltered. You can leave the goopy stuff in the pot from the stove or keep it with your coffee. It all settles to the bottom anyhow.
It is a pretty intense brew. They eat it with dates here to make up for the bitterness. I like the taste. Don't go adding any sugar either, all you true Minnesotan black coffee drinkers should be fine with it anyway.
I make this for Mike before he has to go to work2: tutoring fourth graders.
