Let's Cook

Set the blended coffee mixture aside at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the cardamom flavors to infuse.

Step 4.
While the coffee infuses, fill 4 small glasses with crushed ice. Insert one cinnamon stick into each glass.

After 10 minutes, pour the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or strainer into the prepared glasses, dividing evenly. Serve immediately.
