“Arabic coffee” is a general term that alludes to the way espresso is set up in numerous Arabic nations all through the Middle East. So, there is a decent arrangement of variety from place to put, including how the beans are broiled and what flavors and flavorings are included. Arabic espresso is set up on the stovetop in an uncommon pot called a dallah, filled a bottle, and served in a finjan, handle-less container called finjaan.

Making of Arabic Coffee
Step 1:
Heat the water in the dallah. Use all 3 cups of water and bring to a boil on medium heat.
If you don’t have a dallah, you can use a saucepan or Arabic Coffee Maker(Arabdalla)
Step 2
Remove the dallah from the stove for 30 seconds. Let it stand and cool just slightly.
Meanwhile, reduce the heat on the burner to low.
STEP 3
Add the coffee to the water and return to the stove. You do not need to stir the coffee at this point, since the boiling itself mixes the grounds in the water.
Step 4
Let the coffee brew on low heat. After 10-12 minutes, foam will start rising to the top of the pot.
Do not let the coffee boil, as this will burn the coffee. If it begins to boil, remove the dallah from the stove. You may also want to reduce the heat slightly before returning the dallah to the burner.
Step: 5
Turn the stove off and let the pot settle for a minute. If you have an electric stove that is slow to cool, remove the pot immediately.
Step: 6
Remove the pot from the stove and let the foam settle. Once the level of the foam has lowered, add the cardamom.
You can also add a few cloves at this point, if you’re using them.
Step 7
Return the coffee to the stove and bring it nearly to a boil again. This process will create the same foam as shown in prior steps.
Step 8
Remove the coffee from the stove and let it stand for 5 minutes. The grounds will settle to the bottom.
Step 9
Prepare your thermos. Empty the boiling water used for preheating. If you are using saffron and/or rosewater, add them now to the empty thermos.
Step 10
Pour the coffee into the thermos until the grounds start coming out. Once you see grounds in the coffee, stop pouring. A small amount of coffee with grounds will remain at the bottom of the dallah.
You can pour the coffee through a strainer if you wish. This catches the spices and coffee sediment, but is not a necessary step.
Step 11
Let the coffee steep for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve. For a traditional presentation, use small cups on a serving plate.
Traditionally, the small cups are filled no more than halfway.
While Arabic coffee is traditionally made without sugar, it is served with something sweet, like dates.
Milk is not added to Arabic coffee. If you prefer adding milk to yours, keep in mind that light roasts in particular are best without milk.
