Iced Indonesian Coffee with Fresh Ginger and Cardamom
If you’ve ever wondered why coffee’s nickname is “java,” look to the island of Java. Considered one of the world’s most important coffee-producing regions, including Sumatra, Indonesians are known for their coffee. Called kopi jahe [KOH-pee JAY-hee] in Indonesian, this slightly sweet iced coffee recipe gets an intense jolt from fresh ginger and cardamom. Serve it on ice with a splash of coconut milk for pure joy.

If you prefer your coffee hot, serve it immediately after straining.

For the most flavor, crush the cardamom pods with a mallet to release the seeds.
