1
Combine Ingredients
In a small cezve (Turkish coffee pot), combine the finely ground Turkish coffee, water, and sugar. If you are using cardamom, add it at this stage.
2
Mix Well
Stir the mixture well to ensure that the coffee grounds and sugar are fully dissolved in the water.
3
Heat the Mixture
Place the cezve on low heat. Allow it to heat slowly without stirring.
4
Watch for Froth
As the coffee heats, keep an eye on it. When it begins to froth and bubble, remove it from the heat immediately.
5
Pour and Serve
Let the coffee settle for a few seconds, then pour it into small cups, ensuring to include the froth on top.
6
Enjoy
Serve the coffee immediately and enjoy the strong, rich flavor. Traditional Turkish coffee is often enjoyed with a glass of water on the side.
