Chewing cola nuts is a widespread habit amongst the inhabitants of the whole of north Africa. It is a form of more or less harmless drug addiction that might he compared to drinking black coffee or tea.
Nowadays it is mainly produced in South America, with Brazil heading the list. Other coffee-raising countries are Java, Yemen, India and Sri Lanka. The greatest quantity is used in the preparation of various sorts of black coffee, which is nothing more than water flavoured with coffee.
About one-third of the world population has become addicted to this beverage which is not surprising, for not only does it have a pleasant flavour and aroma but also a mildly stimulating effect, apart from its importance as a social and cultural custom.
More commonly used is the grated peel of fresh lemons. It is recommended to use only the peel of lemons that have not been sprayed with chemical preparations (lemons are sometimes sprayed with fungicides to prevent rotting and decay during long-term transport and storage; these substances are usually poisonous not only to fungi but to man as well and cannot be removed even by thorough washing).
After they are harvested the ripe fruits are dried in the sun and then mechanically hulled. The dry seeds (3) have a bland flavour, acquiring their aroma and colour by roasting, when the sugar they contain is caramelized and the beans turn brown.
Roasting must be brief and rapid, only a few minutes at a temperature of 200C (616F), after which the coffee beans must be cooled fast to prevent the aromatic substances produced by the roasting process from evaporating. For the same reason coffee should he ground just before use
