directions

  • Add the cardamom to the ground coffee, and brew the coffee; when the coffee is brewed, add the sugar and almond flavoring, mix well and then let the coffee cool to lukewarm.
  • Fill four 12 ounce highball glasses half-way to the rim with crushed ice and then fill two-thirds full with coffee; into each glass, stir about 1 tablespoon of heavy cream.
  • To achieve a layered effect, hold a spoon on top of the coffee and pour the cream slowly into the spoon so that the cream floats on top of the glass over the coffee.

  1. Lovely video attached to this photo (linked from email received today). The ingredients & methods in the video do not resemble this recipe! Where can I find the written recipe that reflects the ingredients/techniques used in the video? Thanks in advance. Margo

  1. The recipe in the video was: Strong coffee Whipped cream Mix: condensed sweetened milk. Crushed cardamom. Crushed coriander. Cinnamon. Pour in the bottom of a highball glass. Pour coffee in. Add coffee ice cubes. Pour in half-and-half or whipping cream. Top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon. I would add the almond flavoring to the coffee.
     
  2. How come the recipe does not match the video. The video shows 3 T of condensed milk and doesn't show almond flavoring? The spices look like several different kinds not just cardamom too. It it a different version.
     
  3. Simple and delicious! In fact, I drank the whole recipe myself. Used splenda, half and half and almond extract. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
     
  4. This isn't real iced coffee...there is still an acid effect in it.
     
  5. i hated this but i gave it five stars because i took the coffee out of it and it tasted a lot better

Tweaks

  1. Doesn't the traditional recipe call for sweetened condensed milk?
     
  2. Very Refreshing! I used Splenda in place of the sugar and skim milk instead of heavy cream and it was delish. I drank it ALL! The almond and cardamom really complimented the coffee. Thanks for sharing ev. Nick's Mom
     
  3. Splenda instead of sugar.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
