My brother gave me a package of Alsolan Coffee after spending 9 months in Doha. It has a sandy color and texture and smells like it already contains cardamon, so I'm wondering if your 5-minute boiling method may be the way to prepare it. Should I sieve/filter out any particulates? (Or are they supposed to be part of the "experience"?)
Or should/could one just put boiling water into a French press carafe and let it steep for the usual 4 minutes? (I put 7 heaping teaspoons of the Alsolan into my Bodum FP flask, and it tasts much more of cardamon; very little coffee taste.)
