Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Measure Ingredients

    Gather all ingredients: finely ground Turkish coffee, water, and sugar. If desired, prepare ground cardamom and milk for serving.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a cezve (Turkish coffee pot), combine the finely ground Turkish coffee with water and sugar. If using, add ground cardamom at this stage.

Brewing

  1. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the cezve over low heat. Stir the mixture gently until the coffee and sugar dissolve completely.

  2. 4

    Bring to a Boil

    Allow the coffee to heat slowly until it starts to foam but does not boil. Remove from heat just before it boils over.

  3. 5

    Repeat Heating

    Return the cezve to heat and let it foam again. Repeat this process 2-3 times for a rich flavor.

Serving

  1. 6

    Pour the Coffee

    Once brewed, pour the coffee gently into a small cup, allowing the grounds to settle at the bottom of the cezve.

  2. 7

    Optional Milk

    If desired, serve with a splash of milk on the side. Enjoy your authentic Turkish coffee!
