Step 1

Add coffee, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, sugar and water to your copper pot, making sure you do not fill to the top- you want a little room in case it boils up.

Step 2

Give a good stir to incorporate- this is the only time you'll stir the coffee so you dont disturb the grounds at the bottom.

Step 3

Heat the copper pot on a low flame over a stove. As it becomes hot, watch it closely- you do not want it to boil, or it will go everywhere! I like to pull it off the stove just before boiling.

Step 4

Let it sit for about 20 seconds, and then add back to the heat- pulling it off again until near-boiling. Repeat once more if desired.

Step 5

Let cool briefly, then serve in small cups (like espresso or demitasse cups)
