Qahwa or Arabic Coffee is a very popular hot beverage loved in Saudi Arabia and almost all the Gulf countries. It is served in small cups called Dallah (the cups are small with no handles) along with Dates because it's bitter in taste. And every Gulf Country has it's own way of making it. Qahwa is made with Green Coffee beans, Cardamom and some Rose water. Saffron is also used. It's made like every other concoction but the ingredients are different. It's very rich in Vitamin B12 which is helpful in strengthening our immune system. It increases our metabolism rate and flushes out toxins from the body. It refreshes your body. It relieves stress, improves concentration and helps improve your health. This drink or beverage is a sign of hospitality when welcoming guests in Saudi Arabia, Middle Eastern and Arabian Peninsula. It's a traditional beverage and therefore traditionally roasted on the premises in front of the guests, ground, brewed and served. It's served plain without any Sugar. Saffron and Rose water are added to enhance the flavour if desired.

In this particular Milky version of it, I just made a slight change by adding Coffee Creamer in moderate amounts to enhance the overall flavour. Traditionally it is not used at all. I have made this with a lovely twist to it. I do hope that you will definitely love it. Qahwa powder is easily available on Amazon India.
Happy Brewing with Zee!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
