Embark on a flavorful journey to West Africa with this unique and budget-friendly recipe for Café Touba-Style Black Pepper Coffee, inspired by the traditional Senegalese drink known as Café Touba. This spicy infusion combines the robustness of coffee with the piquancy of black pepper and the warmth of ginger, creating an invigorating and aromatic beverage. Perfect for those who enjoy experimenting with exotic flavors in their coffee routine.
Ingredients:
- 4 teaspoons finely ground coffee
- 1 teaspoon "Poor Man's Selim" mixture
\- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
\- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Hot water for brewing
- Optional sweetener, to taste
Equipment:
- Pour-over coffee maker
- Coffee filter
- Kettle or pot to boil water
- Mug
- Teaspoon
- Small cup for mixing
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the "Poor Man's Selim." In a small cup, combine 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper with 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger. Mix thoroughly with a teaspoon until both ingredients are fully incorporated to create your spice mix.
2. In another cup, mix 4 teaspoons of finely ground coffee with your homemade 1 teaspoon of "Poor Man’s Selim." Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the coffee grounds.
3. Place a coffee filter in your pour-over coffee maker and add the coffee-spice mixture.
4. Boil enough water to brew the coffee. Once the water reaches a boil, let it cool slightly, as water that’s too hot can scorch your coffee and spoil the delicate flavors of the spices.
5. Gradually pour the hot water over the coffee mixture, allowing it to drip through the filter and into your mug below.
6. Once your cup is filled, give it a gentle stir. If desired, add sweetener to your taste preference.
7. Savor the spicy, warming flavors of your Café Touba-Style Black Pepper Coffee.
