1. Measure: For each cup, use 1 heaping tablespoon of finely ground Turkish coffee.
2. Water Ratio: Measure the water using the coffee cup. Typically, use one cup of cold water per serving.
3. Mix Well: Combine coffee, water, and sugar in a cezve (Turkish coffee pot). Stir well until fully mixed.
4. Heat Slowly: Place the cezve on low heat. Allow the coffee to dissolve without stirring, forming a foam on top.
5. Foaming Stage: Just before boiling, spoon some of the foam into each cup, then continue heating.
6. Boiling: Once it starts to froth and is about to boil over, remove from heat. Stir gently and return to heat until it froths again.
7. Serve: Pour the coffee into small cups, grounds and all. Let it settle for a moment before enjoying your authentic Turkish coffee experience!
8. Sugar (Optional): Turkish coffee is often had with sweets - This could be Turkish Delight served next to it or Sugar Cube. ake the sugar cube and dip it into your coffee - Byte a piece of it and follow it with a sip of the Coffee. Or you can simply add and mix sugar into it
