Turkish Coffee

For 500 years, the Turks have been drinking coffee, and during that time he managed to turn into a national drink. The peculiarity of Turkish-made coffee is very finely ground coffee beans - the coffee powder is as thin as flour. In addition, grinded grains are usually freshly roasted - they do not even have time to cool before grinding. The foam that forms on top must be transferred to the cups and it must not be allowed to run away. The very same drink is not boiled, but only brought to a boil, removing it at the time of formation of foam.

Ingredients:

  • coffee beans;
  • filtered water;
  • sugar.

Cooking time: 20 min., Number of servings: 1.

Cooking

Turkish Coffee

1. First you need to grind coffee. It is desirable to do this in a special mortar, then the coffee will acquire the necessary taste and aroma. Grinding coffee should be very fine - like flour. We grind coffee in such quantity that there are 2 teaspoons per person. Coffee must be prepared in a cezve, or, as it is also called, a Turk. It is necessary to pour cold water into it. It is important that the water was purified, in any case not from the tap. When the water gets hot, we pour in ground coffee and, if desired, sugar. With proper preparation, sugar cannot be put into the finished coffee.
