Ingredients

  • 3 Turkish coffee cup-sized cups of cold filtered water 1 1/2 cup per cup
  • 2 heaping tablespoons Turkish Coffee ground
  • Sugar – as requested

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the sugar (if desired), water, and Turkish coffee in metal Turkish coffee pot (Cezve).
  2. Using a small spoon, stir briefly until just combined and place pot on stovetop.
  3. Slowly bring coffee mixture to a boil over medium heat. This will take 3-4 minutes, so keep a close watch.
  4. As the coffee warms, you will see a dark foam building up. Closer to it coming to a boil, using a teaspoon, transfer some of the foam into each of your two Turkish coffee cups. Return coffee pot to stovetop.
  5. As coffee comes to a boil, pour half of the coffee into the cups, over the foam.
  6. Return coffee pot to stovetop and boil the remaining coffee for an additional 15-20 seconds and pour the rest in to the coffee cups to the rim.
  7. Serve with water and Turkish delight.

Notes

  • If this is the case, you can do one of two things.
  • First, you can make them in different pots, but for that, you would have to have more than one cezve.
  • Second, you can start making it with no sugar, pour the first pour to all the cups and then add in the sugar in the second pour.
  • For example: Let’s say I making Turkish coffee for 2 of my guests. First, start with the person who wants his sade (with no sugar) and then continue with the second person who wants his orta (1-2 teaspoon sugar). Below are the steps I would follow to make them at the same time in one pot (cezve):
  • Start by cooking water and coffee for 2 servings with no added sugar
  • Pour your first pour halfway into two coffee pots.
  • Boil the second pour and fill up the first serving with no sugar.
  • Then add in sugar into the pot, mix it, and bring it to a boil before you top off the second serving. Since Turkish coffee is pretty thick and served in such a small cup, it will have enough sweetness.
