Ginger Coffee - Qishr

By Saad Fayed, About.com

Ginger coffee hails from Yemen and rivals any flavored coffee that comes from the coffee shops. It is sweetened with sugar and ground ginger is added.

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 6 teaspoons extra finely ground coffee
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

Preparation:

In an ibrik or small saucepan combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Once the coffee stops bubbling, place back onto stovetop and allow to come to a boil. Remove from heat and repeat.

Serve in demitasse cups. Be sure to allow the coffee to sit for a minute before serving to allow the grinds to fall to the bottom.

If it is too much of a ginger taste, you can add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or a cardamom pod during cooking.
