Turkish coffee-easy.

Get some regular french roast coffee, epresso grind it, add a few
cardamom seeds, place a heaping tbsp per person in a sauce pan, about 2
tb sugar,6 oz water per person. Bring to a boil, remove from heat to
stop the boil, repeat another t2 times ,
pour gently into glasses and make sure each glass has some of the foam
on top.

Candied citrus peel, instant version
I put a cup or so of sugar into a pot, melt, put the citrus zest in and
let limmer very gently for 30 min or so. Take off heat, take each piece
of zest and let it dry slightly, then roll in granulated sugar to coat,
then use. If I  want to candy it to presserv it, that is a different
story.
