Armenian Coffee

Prep Time:

Cook Time: 1 Hour

Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

 * 1 cup water
 * 3 tablespoons Armenian coffee
 * 3 lumps Sugar
 * 1 Teaspoon Cardamom

Directions

 * 1) Measure one demi-tasse cup of water for each cup desired into the "Imrik", and heat it until it is lukewarm.
 * 2) Add one heaped teaspoon of Armenian coffee and one teaspoon sugar for each cup, and stir it. Amounts may vary according to taste.
 * 3) As the mixture begins to boil, a thick foam should form. Stir it once or twice. As the foam begins to rise, take the pot off the heat, so that the foam will sink down.
 * 4) Put it on again; a moment later the foam will rise again. Do this three times so that the coffee grains are well cooked. Now it is ready to serve.
 * 5) Pour a little foam in all of the cups first, then pour the remainder of coffee, filling to the brim.
 * 6) Add the cardamom with the coffee grinds in order to make it properly.
