Coffee Ingredients

Method

Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Measure Water

    Start by measuring 150 ml of cold water using a measuring cup. This will be the base for your coffee.

  2. 2

    Add Coffee

    In a cezve (the special pot used for Turkish coffee), add 2 tablespoons of finely ground Turkish coffee to the measured water.

  3. 3

    Add Sugar (Optional)

    If you prefer your coffee sweetened, add 1 teaspoon of sugar into the cezve with the coffee and water. Adjust the amount based on your taste.

  4. 4

    Mix Ingredients

    Stir the mixture gently with a spoon until the coffee grounds and sugar (if added) are well combined with the water. Do not stir once you start heating.

  5. 5

    Heat the Cezve

    Place the cezve over low heat on the stove. Allow the mixture to heat slowly, watching closely.

  6. 6

    Create Foam

    As the coffee heats, a foam will begin to form on the surface. Do not let it boil over. When it starts to bubble, remove it from heat.

  7. 7

    Serve the Coffee

    Carefully pour the coffee into a small cup, ensuring that the foam is evenly distributed. Allow the grounds to settle for a minute before drinking.
