Jerusalem qahwa and halwa
Three my original pictures processed on Ps CC
Semolina and pine nut sweets served with the classic Arabic cardamom coffee brewed in dallah, the traditional brass coffee pot.
In its most basic form, the Arabic coffee has simple ingredients and preparation: water, lightly roasted coffee, and ground cardamom are boiled in a dallah for 10 minutes to several hours, depending on the preference of the drinker. It is served unfiltered and bitter in demitasse cups. Other traditional and regional recipes include saffron or other spices.
To make up for the bitter flavor, coffee is usually served with something sweet – dates are a traditional accompaniment – and other desserts are often served along with a tray of coffee cups.
