Method
If using cardamom pods, rub the cardamom pods to remove the seeds. Use a mortar and pestle to pulverize the seeds.
Place the cardamom, water, coffee, and sugar if using in a small saucepan or an ibriq, an Arabic coffee pot. Stir well to combine and begin to dissolve the coffee.
Place the pot over medium heat until it starts to foam up. The liquid will start to rise--immediately remove it from the heat.
Return the pot to the heat and continue holding the handle to barely bring it to a simmer and rise again, and remove it immediately once you see that happening.
Repeat a third time, removing the pot from the heat the moment it starts to rise and simmer again. Pour into small cups, holding each up and tilting the cup as you pour the coffee down the side wall of the cup. Spoon any foam that remains in the pot onto the cup of coffee. Serve immediately.
