Description

An authentic and deeply aromatic Turkish coffee brewed traditionally in a long-handled pot. Rich, bold, and crowned with a perfect layer of froth, this comforting beverage is served in traditional espresso cups for a truly sophisticated coffee moment.

Equipment

  • 1 long handle coffee pot called rakwa
  • 3 espresso cups

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 heaping tablespoon Turkish coffee
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar optional

Instructions
 

  • Pour the water into the coffee pot and stir in the sugar, if using. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, add the Turkish coffee, and stir gently to combine.
  • Return the pot to the heat and bring the coffee just to a boil, keeping a close eye on it to ensure it does not spill over. Repeat this boiling process a couple of times to create a rich, traditional froth, then pour gently into cups and serve.
