patience

Getting to know yourself through movement is not like instant coffee.

You gotta grow the beans,

Pick them

Dry them

Roast them

Cool them properly

Grind them

Brew the coffee

Warm the cup

Add the milk

And then you realise you prefer tea.

It's a process!

Recipe: Cardamom Coffee

Cardamon Coffee
By Diana Yen, author of A Simple Feast: A Year of Stories & Recipes to Savor & Share  for Kinfolk.


Adding spices and a pinch of salt to my morning coffee pot is a habit I developed after drinking a delicious spiced Turkish coffee that accompanied a flaky baklava dessert. This recipe makes a delicious cup of joe to enjoy in the early hours, but it also serves as a lovely sip after dinner. I chose to use cardamom for its aroma and slight smokiness, but you can play around with any spice that inspires you. Ground cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and star anise would also be wonderful.

Tools
Stovetop espresso coffee maker or French press

Ingredients
Ground coffee beans
1 cardamom pod (cracked) per cup of coffee
Salt
Milk
Sugar

Method
In an espresso coffee maker or French press, brew your coffee as usual, adding a cracked cardamom pod and pinch of salt per cup to the ground coffee before brewing. Add milk and sugar to your liking. The end result should be smooth with a floral spiced aroma.

Nice little detail!
