NOTES

1. As mentioned in step 2, my grandma taught me to boil the coffee twice to achieve foam. In her day and circles, the ability to make foam was considered a favorable trait in prospective brides. Therefore, as a young women serving guests, she worked hard to create enough foam to extend to every cup. When I discussed this with Zee during our apprenticeship, she said foam was seen as a sign of laziness and only boiled her coffee once. I cannot account for these differences, but it would be great if someone in our community could!
