Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Freshly ground Turkish coffee
- 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 cups Water
Instructions
Using a small traditional Turkish coffee pot called a cezve, measure 1 cup of cold water and pour it into the pot.
Add 2 teaspoons of freshly ground Turkish coffee to the cezve. For a sweeter coffee, mix in 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar at this stage (or adjust to taste).
Stir the mixture gently to combine the coffee, sugar, and water.
Place the cezve on low heat. Do not stir the mixture again after this point.
Allow the coffee to heat slowly. As it warms, you'll notice the foam forming on the surface. Aim to keep the foam intact as much as possible.
Once the coffee begins to rise and is about to boil, remove the cezve from the heat—do not let it fully boil as this will ruin the foam.
Spoon a bit of the foam into your serving cup. Return the cezve to low heat and let it rise again just before boiling, then remove it from the heat.
Gently pour the coffee into your serving cup, ensuring the foam remains on top.
Let the coffee sit for a minute to allow the grounds to settle, then serve immediately, preferably with a glass of water and a small sweet treat.
