Café Touba Spiced Coffee
A strong, aromatic coffee infused with Guinea pepper (grains of selim) and cloves. A traditional Senegalese coffee.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp Ground Coffee
- 8 Guinea Pepper (Grains of Selim)
- 4 Cloves
- 4 cups Water
- To taste Sugar
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place the 8 Guinea Pepper (Grains of Selim) and 4 Cloves on a clean cutting board. Using the flat side of a knife or a rolling pin, gently crush them until they are slightly broken. This will help release their aroma.
- 2Measure the 4 cups of Water into a medium saucepan. Add the 4 tbsp Ground Coffee, the crushed Guinea Pepper, and the crushed Cloves to the saucepan.
- 3Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Watch for large bubbles breaking the surface.
- 4As soon as the mixture boils, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the coffee steep for 2 to 3 minutes. This allows the flavors to infuse.
- 5Carefully strain the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve placed over a heatproof bowl or directly into your serving mugs. Discard the solids left in the sieve.
- 6Add Sugar to the strained coffee, stirring until it dissolves. Taste and add more Sugar if desired. Serve the Café Touba hot.
