A touch of Vanilla

Step 1 Measure it out.

Our Recommendations are for every 1 Cup (255ml) of the final product:

  • Use a little more than 1 cup (280 ml) of water to allow for evaporation

  • 1 Heaping tablespoon of Kafy coffee (7.5 g)

  • 1 Teaspoon of cardamom seeds (2g)

  • 1 eighth of a vanilla bean ( 1 bean is good for 8 cups)

Step 2 Let it Roll

  • Cut the bean in half length wise and scrape out the seeds.

  • Get the water to a rolling boil, then add the coffee, the vanilla bean (and the seeds), and cover with lid.

  • Allow coffee to boil for half an hour (30 minutes).

Step 3 Filter and let Steep.

  • Add the cardamom to the insulated flask.

  • Place the sieve or filter above the mouth of the flask and pour the coffee.

  • Fish vanilla bean out of sieve, wash in water and add to flask.

  • Close the flask and allow the cardamom flavor to seep into the coffee for half an hour (30 minutes)

Enjoy

The coffee is now ready and can be enjoyed hot with a date.


(Be careful many flasks hold temperature well and you might end up burning your tongue)

When making Kafy using our measurements is only the start. This is a coffee for you to enjoy with family and guests. Adjust the amounts of ingredients and experiment. In the Arabian Peninsula every family recipe is different.
