What could be better than starting your morning with a freshly brewed cup of coffee? Rich, warm, and inviting, Turkish coffee (Kahwa) delights the senses with its distinctive aroma and deep, bold flavor. As John Van Druten once said, “I think if I were a woman, I’d wear coffee as a perfume.” I couldn’t agree more! There is something truly irresistible about the aroma of freshly brewed coffee that fills the kitchen and makes you look forward to that first comforting sip.

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.
