Episode 13 - Israeli Cardamom Coffee
This episode was all about them spices. In Episode 13 we tried out Cardamom Coffee, a traditional Israeli treat made with cardamom pods and cinnamon. I also added a sprig of ginger, which is optional.
We ground it all right in with the coffee beans. Normally it's made over a stovetop, but we prefer to make our coffees with more conventional methods when possible, be it a coffee maker or a pour over dripper. Easier to try yourself that way. And less to clean up...
As a bonus we tried some cardamom pods staight. It was
Recipe:
This is flexible. Feel free to experiment and get the coffee how you like it. For starters try:
- 4-5 cardamom pods
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (or grind up maybe a quarter of a stick)
- 1 sprig of ginger (they come in little gremlin man shapes. I snapped off a nubbin and ground it in)
- 8 tablespoons of coffee
That's about what we tried. I take a loose-y goose-y approach to recipes, so sometimes it's hard for me to remember my exact process later. But like I said, this is a flexible recipe, so you're bound to get something intriguing no matter what you try.
Next week we'll be trying Lemon Coffee, or Mazagran, the original iced coffee!
In one final bit of news, we are pleased to announce our new store is now online! Shirts! Mugs! Llamas! Cars! Imagine how great it will feel cruising down the road in your official Coffee Nerds Mercedes, the wind in your hair, the coffee steaming in your favorite mug.
Ok, we don't sell cars yet, or llamas. But we MIGHT someday, which I feel is reason enough to check out the store, because who doesn't like llamas? Get on over there today and browse! Later coffee drinkers!
