Just tried putting cardamom in strong black coffee . . . pretty good actually.

So, of course I have to pipe in and say... cardamom is good in most everything ;)

hey cardamom, what's the best way of grinding cardamom? and where is the best place to buy it in Ottawa?

you can buy coffee with cardamom in it already at mid east markets usually.

@eastcoast, I'll have to try that. I liked the Vietnamese coffee.

I found even cheap coffee can taste good from a moka pot. Not the "Irresistible" store brand of bio decaf though . . . yuck. Going to use the rest of that one for conditioning moka pots.

My mom always made her coffee with a pinch of salt in it. Sometimes she'd add a bit of cinnamon too.

I had a delicious pot of Turkish coffee yesterday after a very good Lebanese lunch with my son. It was flavoured with rosewater and cardamom and sweetened with sugar.
This cookie recipe is easy and very good with a cup of coffee, and is made with all whole wheat flour, oil (or butter), and flavoured with cardamom: desertcandy.blogspot.ca Yum!

I've been reading about Turkish coffee . . . you need to grind it with a mortar and pestle I think. I haven't tried it yet.

Chinese people like to eat foods that Westerners consider unusual, things like pig-blood cake and chicken-butt kebab, to name just a few popular snacks. So the introduction of salty coffee shouldn't be such a shocker. What difference, after all, can a few sprinkles of salt make to your morning cup of joe? The chefs at Taiwan's top coffeehouse, 85C Bakery Cafe, pondered that question for six months before they started serving sea-salt coffee, which became their best-selling drink following its December debut.
