Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon finely ground Turkish coffee
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- Optional: cardamom pod or pinch of ground cardamom
Instructions
- Pour cold water into a cezve (Turkish coffee pot).
- Add Turkish coffee and sugar (if using) without stirring initially.
- Place cezve over low heat and stir until well combined.
- Allow the coffee to heat slowly—do not stir again.
- When foam begins to rise, remove from heat before it overflows and spoon some foam into each cup.
- Return cezve to heat and repeat the process of letting it foam and removing it two more times.
- Pour the coffee slowly into small Turkish coffee cups, distributing the foam evenly.
- Let the grounds settle for a minute and serve with a glass of water and optionally Turkish delight.
Notes
- Use authentic Turkish coffee grind—very fine, like powdered sugar.
- Don’t stir after the initial mix to preserve foam formation.
- Traditionally served with a sweet treat and a glass of water to cleanse the palate.
