How do I make traditional Qatari coffee at home in Qatar?
How to make Emirati gahwa?
The gahwa is usually prepared with cardamom, saffron and rose water. You bring coffee and water to the boil first. So, if you want to boil a litre of water, you'lladd two to three spoons of gahwa to it, wait for it to boil, turn off the heat as soon as it does, then leave it to simmer for two minutes. When all the ingredients sink to the bottom, to the flask I add a spoon of cardamom, a spoonful of rose water and pinch of saffron. Then I add all the gahwa to it and close the flask.
