Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Coffee
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp Cardamom
• 0.125 tsp Black pepper
• 2 cups Water

Steps

1. Grind the coffee fine and mix it with the sugar and all the spices before brewing — the spices bloom in the hot water alongside the coffee.
2. Brew strong, by whatever method you prefer. The coffee must be bold enough to carry the spices without being bullied by them.
3. The black pepper sounds alarming and is entirely traditional — it adds warmth, not heat, and makes the cinnamon taste more like itself.
4. Sweeten to taste; Moroccan coffee runs sweet, and the sugar rounds the spice edges.
5. Serve in small cups, after meals or with afternoon pastries. It is coffee with a plot twist — familiar, then suddenly, wonderfully strange.
