How To Make Turkish (or Arabic) Coffee
Posted by Devon Akmon | Filed under Food, Work
My colleague Khaliph created a great short video on how to make Arabic coffee for the forthcoming exhibit, From Mocha to Latte: Coffee, the Arab World and the $4 Cup, at the Arab American National Museum. This small exhibit opens to the public this Thursday, January 28, and runs through August 15, 2010. If you come to visit the exhibition, be sure to stop by Hashems Nuts and Coffee Gallery of Dearborn and to say hi to Wessam! He is our instructor for this lesson.
“Coffee culture” as we know it has come a long way from its origins in the Arab World. Many myths surround the discovery of this fascinating beverage, but it is coffee’s Arab cultural roots that have led to continuing social traditions, the global institution we know as the coffeehouse and even some of the greatest intellectual achievements in human history.
Take a break from the daily grind to drink it all in at the Arab American National Museum’s new exhibition From Mocha to Latte: Coffee, the Arab World and the $4 Cup. It explores the effects of coffee on the history of the Arab World and consequently, the rest of the world. The exhibition runs January 28 – August 15, 2010 in the Lower Level Gallery. It’s free with Museum admission.
The public is invited to a free opening reception at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, January 28, 2010 in the AANM’s dramatic Community Courtyard, featuring complimentary Arabic coffee and sweets, sponsored by Hashems Nuts & Coffee Gallery of Dearborn.
