Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Finely ground Turkish coffee
• 1 cup Cold water
• 1 teaspoons Granulated sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start with cold, filtered water. Measure 1 cup of cold water using a traditional Turkish coffee pot (cezve). This small metal pot with a long handle is key for authentic preparation.

Step 2

Add 2 teaspoons of finely ground Turkish coffee to the cezve. Ensure the coffee is ground to a powder-like texture, finer than espresso grounds.

Step 3

If you prefer your coffee sweetened, add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar to the pot. Adjust the amount to taste or omit it for unsweetened coffee.

Step 4

Gently stir the coffee and sugar in the pot with the water until everything is fully combined. Do not stir after this step to avoid disturbing the foam that develops later.

Step 5

Place the cezve on the stovetop over low heat. Heat the coffee slowly to allow the flavors to develop and the foam to form on top. Keep an eye on the coffee during this process.

Step 6

As the coffee begins to heat, you will notice foam starting to gather at the surface. Right before the coffee comes to a full boil, remove it from the heat to preserve the foam.

Step 7

Carefully pour the foam into your coffee cup, using a spoon if necessary. Return the cezve to the heat and bring the coffee to a boil briefly, then remove it from the heat again.

Step 8

Pour the coffee into your cup slowly to avoid disturbing the foam. Serve immediately, allowing the grounds at the bottom of the cup to settle before sipping.
