Turkey is very fond of coffee and treats this drink with great attention and awe. It can have a thick consistency and can vary in taste – from sweet to bitter. It was in Turkey that the cezve (Turk) was invented.
Turkish coffee is mainly made from Arabica. It is very important to choose the correct size of the turkey, take clean, uncontaminated drinking water, finely ground coffee beans. Roasting the beans is necessary just before making coffee.
Turkish coffee recipe
1. Pour cold, clean water into the Turk to the level of a narrow neck, and if you like sweet coffee, then immediately add sugar. Do not add sugar or spices to Turkish coffee after making it. Put the Turk on fire.
2. Spices must be ground and mixed with coffee.
3. Add 1 teaspoon per coffee cup to hot water.
4. Mix all contents thoroughly.
5. As soon as the foam begins to rise to the neck, remove the Turk from the heat.
6. Transfer the foam to cups and repeat the process 2 to 6 times.
Remember, it is not customary to add cream and milk to Turkish coffee.
Bon appetit!
