Brewing Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients: finely ground Arabica coffee beans, cold water, and sugar.
Measure the Water
Pour 150 ml of cold water into a cezve (Turkish coffee pot). Ensure that the cezve is clean and dry.
Add the Coffee
Add 2 tablespoons of finely ground Arabica coffee beans into the cezve with the cold water.
Add Sugar (Optional)
If you prefer sweet coffee, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the cezve. Adjust the amount of sugar to taste.
Mix the Ingredients
Stir the mixture gently to combine the coffee, water, and sugar. Ensure that the coffee grounds are fully saturated.
Heat the Cezve
Place the cezve over low to medium heat. Watch carefully as the coffee heats up to avoid boiling over.
Observe for Foam
As the coffee begins to heat, you will notice foam forming on the surface. Do not stir the coffee once it starts heating.
Remove from Heat
When the foam rises to the top of the cezve, remove it from the heat immediately to prevent boiling over.
Pour and Serve
Let the coffee sit for a few seconds to allow the grounds to settle. Then, pour the coffee into a small cup, making sure to leave the grounds in the cezve.
