A sweet and strong coffee which is taken black and in very small quantities (similar to an espresso). The rosewater adds a very subtle taste.

a few drops of rosewater
1 pint water
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Put the water into a saucepan.
- Add the coffee and sugar.
- Bring to the boil and continue to boil until the mixture becomes frothy.
