Kahwa (Turkish Coffee)
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.
