## Description
Rich, aromatic, and intensely flavorful, this traditional Turkish coffee is prepared in a cezve, creating a unique and unforgettable coffee experience. Enjoy the ritual and savor the distinctive taste.
## Recipe Details
* **Prep time:** 2 minutes
* **Cook time:** 5 minutes
* **Total time:** 7 minutes
* **Servings:** 2
* **Difficulty:** Easy
## Ingredients
* 20g / 0.7oz finely ground Turkish coffee (ideally using Arabica beans)
* 200ml / 6.8 fl oz (approx. 0.85 cup) cold, filtered water
* 10g / 0.35oz granulated sugar (or to taste) – about 2 teaspoons (optional)
## Equipment
* Cezve (Turkish coffee pot)
* Small spoons
* Small coffee cups
## Instructions
1. **Measure** 200ml / 6.8 fl oz (approx. 0.85 cup) of cold, filtered water into the cezve.
2. **Add** 20g / 0.7oz of finely ground Turkish coffee to the water. Do not stir.
3. **Add** 10g / 0.35oz of granulated sugar (or to taste), if desired, to the cezve. Do not stir.
4. **Place** the cezve over low heat on the stovetop.
5. **Heat** the coffee slowly over low heat. Avoid stirring at any point during the heating process, as stirring can cause the grounds to clump and hinder proper brewing.
6. **Watch** carefully as a dark foam begins to form on the surface of the coffee.
7. **Remove** the cezve from the heat *before* the coffee boils over. The foam should be thick and rich.
8. **Spoon** a small amount of the foam into each of the serving cups. This helps distribute the foam evenly and creates an authentic presentation.
9. **Return** the cezve to the low heat for a few seconds, allowing the coffee to heat up further, but being careful to avoid boiling over. Repeat the process of removing from heat and spooning foam into the cups one more time.
10. **Pour** the coffee slowly and evenly into the serving cups, being careful not to disturb the grounds at the bottom of the cezve.
11. **Allow** the coffee grounds to settle in the cups for a minute or two before serving.
12. **Serve** immediately and enjoy the coffee slowly.
## Tips for Success
* Use the finest possible grind for the Turkish coffee. A burr grinder is recommended for optimal consistency.
* Use good quality, freshly roasted coffee beans for the best flavor.
* Low and slow heating is key to extracting the maximum flavor and creating the characteristic foam.
* Do not stir the coffee while brewing, as this can disrupt the formation of the foam.
## Variations & Substitutions
* **Spice it up:** Add a pinch of cardamom, cinnamon, or other spices to the coffee grounds before brewing.
* **Sweeten with honey:** Substitute sugar with an equivalent amount of honey for a different flavor profile.
* **Dairy-Free:** While traditionally served black, a splash of non-dairy milk (like almond or oat milk) can be added after brewing if desired.
## Storage
* Turkish coffee is best consumed immediately. Leftovers are not recommended.
