Arabic coffee







This is so embarrassing! I do not know how to make arabic coffee! It was ok in Canada, because everyone just drank Canadian coffee, but here it is a different story!




I have at least 5 sets of coffee cups in this apartment! My mother in law got me coffee. So I can not use the sorry I do not have Arabic coffee and cups excuse now!






I am too embarrassed to ask people how to do it! I guess just put water, boil it and put the coffee and some sugar...bas how much coffee? lets hope I do not get any visitors anytime soon!






Ok you can stop laughing now!!

You mean Turkish coffee!
For every boiled small cup (Fenjan) of water, put a full teaspoon of coffee, stirr and let them boil together. Add sugar as pleased.
If someone wishes an extra dark, just over fill the spoon.

طيب

شغلتك مو صعبة بس بدك اتجربي على حالك اكتير
اول شي , بتروحي على بياع القهوة , و بتشتريها , احكلي قهوة وقية , نص شقراء و نص سمرا

بعدين , بتحطي المي على النار لتغلي وة ما تعبيها كلها اتركي شوي مجال فيها , بس تغلي بتخفيفي النار و بتبعدي الدلة عنها


حطي السكر يلي بتحبي , و حركي لدوب , رجعي الدلة على النار لتغلي شوي زغيرة و يدوب السكر منيح و ارجعي بعديها
هلا
بتحطي تقريبا عيار كل فنجان معلقة شاي قهوة بس مش معلقة ممسوحة يعني خليها متل جبل صغير :) , يعني عادي متل ما بتطلع معك حطيها
عادة الدلة بتاخد 4 معالق لأنه عيارها 3-4 فناجين اذا دلة حجمها وسط
هلا حركي البن ل ينزل بالمي
و حركي لكلو يصير بالمي و شوي متجانس



ممم هون بدك تنتبهي

اربي الدلة على النار و هي واطية , و بعديها لما تشوفيها بدها اتفور , و ضلك حركي شوي شوي , تحسي انها عم تنسجم اكتر , طبعا اذا فارة شوي و طرطشت عادي , انا ياما اكل بهادل , بس ما انك ست البيت انتي يلي بتنضفيها ...

عادي ضلك حركي لتحسيها هديت و راقت شوي ,

و يعطيكي العافية صارت جاهزة


طبعا اذا جبتي القهوة شقرا كلها رح تعاني من الرغوة

first boil some water. in the time it takes to boil, go to gahwit abu issa (any taxi driver will know were to go. it is in prince moh'd street, and beginning of wadi sagrra) get some coffee. it is really good. get home, the water is boiling, put it in the fridge to cool down. now you have great coffee and sterilized water! sa7tain.

It's funny. One day after lunch, I promised to make my Arab friends and Greek friends some Arabic, Turkish or Greek coffee... whatever you want to call it.

Knowing me and my primitive kitchen skills, they go to me 'are you sure you know how to make it?'

I am like 'yeah sure I know, walaw!!!'

lol I ran into the room and sent my mom a text: 'mom QUICKLY the water's on fire, how do I make coffee?'.

It turned out to be quite easy.

bella said...

LOL...so I am not the only one who learned later rather than sooner how to make Arabic coffee hehe. Instructions are simple enough but be careful of it boiling over, its been six months since I finally learned how to make finjan el a2hweh and that still ALWAYS happens to me!!
