Description
A traditional recipe for making authentic Turkish coffee.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Turkish coffee cups cold water
- 3 heaped teaspoons finely ground Turkish coffee
- Sugar to taste (optional: 0 tsp for sade, 1/2 tsp for az sekerli, 1 tsp for orta, 2 tsp for cok sekerli)
Instructions
- Measure the water. Use your Turkish coffee cup to measure cold water directly into the cezve (classic Turkish coffee pot). Fill each cup and pour both into the pot.
- Add coffee and sugar. Add 3 heaped teaspoons of Turkish coffee and sugar if using. Stir once to combine, then do not stir again.
- Heat slowly. Place the cezve over medium to low heat. Let it heat gradually without rushing.
- Spoon the foam. As the coffee rises and a thick foam forms, remove from heat just before it fully boils. Spoon the foam evenly between two cups.
- Second boil. Return the cezve to heat and bring to a boil one more time. Remove immediately and pour slowly into the cups over the foam.
- Rest and serve. Let sit for one minute for grounds to settle. Serve with a glass of cold water and a sweet treat on the side.
Notes
- For a stronger flavor, let the coffee boil longer.
- Turkish coffee is traditionally served with a glass of cold water.
