Arabic Coffee With Rose Water

"The Persian Gulf was the location for given with this recipe. It should be appropriate to pretty much all of North Africa and the Middle East though. If your not familiar with rose water go very easy with it to start (no more than 2 Tbsp) and add more if you wish. Rose water is potent."

  1. OMG Annacia, this is the best coffee I have made all year. Wow, is it good. The rose water really elevates the coffee and adds something special to all these beautiful spices. Love spices, love coffee, this was a no brainer for me. Thank you for sharing this lovely recipe which I have put into my Favorites Cookbook for 2012. Kudos to you my friend.
     
  2. I know you are supposed to make this beverage the traditional way by boiling it several times but I prefer my coffee made using a cone filter. First I ground the coffee adding a few crushed whole cardamon to the grounds. Poured the boiling water into a mug with a few strands of saffron. Then stirred in the rose water and cream. Yum! Made for NA*ME tag.
