Ingredients: 4 ounce cold water (1/2 cup); 2 heaped teaspoon finely ground coffee powder; 1 teaspoon sugar (optional); 1 pod crushed green cardamom (optional)

Armenian

Add coffee, sugar, and cardamom pod to the pot. Don’t stir.

Turn your stovetop on medium heat and place your coffee pot over the heat.

Note – Keep a close eye on the pot to make sure the coffee doesn’t boil over. A boiled-over Armenian coffee is no good.

The coffee will begin to form bubbles on the edges and rise in some time. Don’t let it boil over!

As soon as you see bubbles and coffee simmering on the sides of the pot, remove the pot from the heat quickly, and wait for 6-8 seconds.

Tip – You can use a kitchen cloth to hold the handle if it gets hot.

Return the pot back to the stovetop and let the coffee rise again. Remove the pot again from heat.

Repeat this process one more time before completely removing it from the heat.

Gently pour the coffee into 2 espresso cups. Enjoy!
