From our kitchenTürk kahvesi – Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee is UNESCO cultural heritage: coffee, water and sugar are slowly heated in a small copper pot (cezve) until foam forms. Served with a glass of water and lokum.
Method
Stir coffee, sugar and water together cold in the cezve.
Heat slowly over low heat and do not stir again.
As soon as the foam rises, take the cezve off the heat and spoon the foam into the cups.
Return to the heat, let it rise once more and pour the coffee carefully into the cups.
Serve with water and lokum; do not drink the grounds.
