Golden coffee
Making arabic coffee is like a piece of cake, so I took for granted. One day at work, Dr. Shayma mentioned someone said ‘boil the coffee for about an hour or so’, I laughed, I said there is no coffee would be left!.
Every Saturday morning Dr. Shayma makes arabic coffee at the clinic’s kitchen. She uses a coffee package which has all the ingredients in it. Some brands have a creamer powder as an additional flavor, honestly, this throws me off, I like the traditional flavor.
This recipe dedicated to Dr. Shayma (everyone can use the recipe as well 🙂 ) , I can’t thank her enough for everything she does for her staff and her patients.
