Serves 4

Ingredients

Roasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup
Water
4 cups
Ground cardamom
1 teaspoon
Ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon
Sugar
to taste

Instructions

  1. In a blender or coffee grinder, grind the roasted sesame seeds until they reach a fine powder.
  2. In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once the water is boiling, add the ground sesame seeds, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom. Stir well to combine.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the coffee to steep for an additional 5 minutes. This will enhance the flavors.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into cups to remove any sediment.
  7. Sweeten with sugar to taste, stirring until fully dissolved.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy the aromatic flavors of this unique beverage!
