Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Measure out the finely ground Turkish coffee and sugar. If using cardamom, crush it lightly.

  2. 2

    Combine in the Pot

    In a traditional cezve (Turkish coffee pot), combine the water, Turkish coffee, sugar, and cardamom (if using). Stir gently to mix.

  3. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the cezve on low heat. Allow the coffee to slowly heat up, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.

  4. 4

    Bring to a Boil

    As the coffee heats, it will begin to foam. Do not stir once it starts to foam. Remove from heat just before it boils over.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Pour the coffee into small cups, allowing the grounds to settle at the bottom of the cezve. Serve hot.
