Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, add the finely ground coffee and crushed cardamom pods to the water.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the coffee mixture simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from overflowing.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to sit for 2 minutes. This will help the coffee grounds settle at the bottom.

- Sweeten your coffee with sugar to taste, stirring well to dissolve.
- Serve the cardamom coffee hot and enjoy the warming flavors!
