Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Freshly ground Turkish coffee
- 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Using a small traditional Turkish coffee pot called a cezve, measure 1 cup of cold water and pour it into the pot.
Step 2
Add 2 teaspoons of freshly ground Turkish coffee to the cezve. For a sweeter coffee, mix in 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar at this stage (or adjust to taste).
Step 3
Stir the mixture gently to combine the coffee, sugar, and water.
Step 4
Place the cezve on low heat. Do not stir the mixture again after this point.
Step 5
Allow the coffee to heat slowly. As it warms, you'll notice the foam forming on the surface. Aim to keep the foam intact as much as possible.
Step 6
Once the coffee begins to rise and is about to boil, remove the cezve from the heat—do not let it fully boil as this will ruin the foam.
Step 7
Spoon a bit of the foam into your serving cup. Return the cezve to low heat and let it rise again just before boiling, then remove it from the heat.
Step 8
Gently pour the coffee into your serving cup, ensuring the foam remains on top.
Step 9
Let the coffee sit for a minute to allow the grounds to settle, then serve immediately, preferably with a glass of water and a small sweet treat.
