At the heart of Ethiopia's coffee ceremony, buna is made by roasting and grinding raw coffee beans at home and brewing them with cardamom and cinnamon. Drunk unsweetened or with a touch of honey, this coffee's antioxidant content makes it a heart-friendly mid-afternoon drink.
Roast the coffee beans in a dry pan, stirring constantly, until they turn dark brown and take on a slight sheen.
Spread the roasted beans on a plate and let them cool to room temperature.
Grind the cooled beans to a fine consistency in a grinder.
Combine the ground coffee with the water, cardamom and cinnamon in a small pot and bring to a boil; let it rise and settle three times, brewing for 15 minutes in total.
Let the coffee sit until the grounds settle, then strain it into small cups and serve, sweetened with a little honey if you like.
Never step away from the pan while roasting the coffee; a few seconds of distraction is enough to make the beans taste bitter.
If you cannot find cardamom, you can brew with cinnamon alone; the flavour will be plainer and will not balance the incense burned during the ceremony as well.
