Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee is more of a brewing method than anything else. In theory any coffee will work for Turkish coffee, but the best to use is very finely ground (think espresso) Arabica beans.
It’s coffee made with a small amount of water and a high amount of coffee, par-boiled for a few seconds, and then left to sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
This is the kind of coffee that is best appreciated by those who are okay with black coffee, since this is a very string coffee, and a little on the thicker side.
It’s got plenty of coffee grounds on the bottom of the cups, and is not usually served with any milk or creamer.
Of course, there are traditions and traditions when it comes to Turkish coffee. It has one such tradition where the coffee is prepared via hot sand, and that’s got to be one of the most charming ways to make coffee.
One of the most important elements of Turkish coffee is the ibric, or small saucepan the coffee is made in.
This is how the ibric got its specific wide, flat bottom, with the outer curve. It’s meant to catch most of the coffee grounds when you’re serving the coffee.
If you have no ibric, the end result will be similar but definitely lacking in authenticity. And you’ll get way more coffee dust at the bottom of your cup.
It’s heavy, thick, stamped copper, which means it will both look beautiful and heat evenly when you set it on the stove.
Never boil the coffee until you’ve got no foam left. That’s not only far from the tradition – which in many cases states the number of bubbles is the number of coins you’ll have in life – but it’s also a sing of burnt coffee.
It will end up tasting too bitter and harsh, even if it is Arabica.
For the best results, stop just as you see the foam starting to rise. Keep stirring the coffee, but stop when you see no more ground coffee in the foam itself. Pour the coffee sideways of the cup so that the foam do not get mixed with water faster and this coffee is served with Turkish SUGAR and WATER. Since the coffee will be strong in flavor.
- Coffee bean powder - 2 tsp
- Sugar - 2 tsp
- Water - 2 cups
- In Ibric (Sauce pan) add 2 tsp of coffee powder and 2 tsp of sugar and mix both well.
- Now take 2 cups of water, pour in Ibric and mix it.
- Now keep the Ibric in very low flame and wait until it becomes foamy bubbles.
- Collect this coffee foamy bubbles with spoon and put into serving coffee cup and off the flame.
- Now slowly pour the remaining coffee into cup sideways and set aside for 5min before serving.
- Keep extra sugar cube if needed with 1 cup of plain water to sip. Since the coffee will be too strong.
- Enjoy!!!
