    Every time I come to this site I find something that I have to try! This is similar to the Iraqi cardamom coffee that my husband loves, but I have never made it using milk. Will definitely take your suggestion- this would be perfect with dates. This looks delicious, mashaAllah :)

    I just prepared it for my wife instead of espresso she asked me to make. It was delicious. Thank you.
