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.

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.
