How to make it
5 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Add the cold water
Add the cold water to the cezve (Turkish coffee pot).
Add the finely ground coffee and sugar
Add the finely ground coffee and sugar (if desired) to the water. Stir well until the coffee and sugar are fully dissolved.
Place the cezve on low heat
Place the cezve on low heat. From this point on, do not stir the coffee, as it will break the foam.
3 minWatch closely
Watch closely. As the coffee heats, a dark foam will begin to rise. Just before it boils over, remove the cezve from the heat.
2 minSpoon off some of the foam
Spoon off some of the foam into your coffee cup. Return the cezve to the heat briefly to let it rise once more, then pour the entire contents, including the remaining grounds, into the cup.
A little kitchen wisdom
Always use extra-fine, powder-like coffee grounds. Do not stir once the coffee is on the heat to allow the foam to develop properly. Serve with a glass of water and a piece of Turkish delight to cleanse the palate.
