Description
Turkish coffee is a rich, velvety brew made with finely ground coffee and slow-simmered to create its signature frothy top. Deeply traditional and flavorful, it’s meant to be savored slowly in small sips.
Ingredients
- Finely Ground Turkish Coffee: 2 heaping teaspoons
- Cold Water: 100 ml (about 1 demitasse cup)
- Sugar (Optional): 0.5–1 teaspoon, to taste
- Ground Cardamom (Optional): a pinch
Instructions
- Pour cold water into a cezve (small coffee pot).
- Add coffee, sugar (if using), and cardamom. Stir until dissolved.
- Place over low heat and let it slowly come to a simmer without stirring again.
- As foam rises, remove from heat just before it boils. Spoon some foam into the serving cup.
- Return cezve to heat, let foam rise again, and pour remaining coffee gently into the cup.
- Let rest briefly to allow grounds to settle. Do not stir. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Use the finest ground coffee possible — it should feel like powder.
- Never let it boil fully or stir once heating begins.
- Serve with a glass of cold water and a sweet like Turkish delight.
