Equipment
- Cezve pot
- Turkish coffee cups
Ingredients
- 2 heaped teaspoons ground Turkish coffee
- sugar optional - see instructions below
- 2¼ cups of water
Instructions
- Add your Turkish coffee to the cezve pot.
- Now add your sugar, if using. For sade - no sugar. For orta (az şekerli) - 1 teaspoon sugar. For şekerli - 2 teaspoons sugar.
- Add water to the cezve, filling it to about 1 inch from the top.
- Stir your solution a little, but not too much.
- Place the cezve on the smallest ring of your hob and heat on the lowest setting. Watch over it, carefully.
- When the froth forms and begins to rise and roll over, remove the cezve from the heat. This takes around 7 minutes.
- Skim the thick foam from the top with a teaspoon and share between your two Turkish coffee cups.
- Place the cezve back on medium heat until your Turkish coffee boils again. This takes 10-15 seconds.
- Remove the cezve from the heat and top up your cups.
- If you have guests, serve with glass of water and lokum (Turkish Delight) on the side.
Notes
- Calories per cup will be less if you don't use sugar...
- And more if you serve with Turkish Delight.
