Turkish coffee?
what is turkish coffee, where can i buy it and how do i prepare it? some middle eastern friends of mine introduced me to this wickedly strong coffee and i need more!!
To make Turkish coffee you need your coffee beans roasted to the desired doneness. Some prefer it burned, some medium roasted, some barely roasted, or a combination of any of the above.
To make your life easier, get your high quality coffee beans already roasted for Turkish coffee from your coffee shop. Either, ask them at the shop to grind it to a fine powder or you can do that at home if you have a coffee grinder.
In the special coffee pot (a special water can with a pout and a long handle), measure water for the number of cups you intend to serve and add some extra water to compensate for water evaporation while boiling.
Add sugar to taste to the water (1 teaspoon per cup for sweet, 1/2 teaspoon per cup for medium, 1/4 teaspoon per cup for light, or no sugar for bitter).
Bring the water to a boil.
When the water starts to boil, remove it from the heat and carefully add the coffee powder to avoid it to over boil all over the place. For each cup of coffee add a heaped 1/2 teaspoon of coffee powder more or less to taste.
Turn down the heat to a simmer and carefully place back the coffee pot. Stir constantly to avoid it over boiling. Should you see it over frothing and about to boil over, remove it immediately from the heat stirring constantly, then replace it back on heat.
Boil for an extra 5 minutes.
Carefully, put the coffee into the small coffee cups and wait a short while for the sediments to settle then serve.
Enjoy!
BTW some like to grind some cardamom pods with the coffee beans for added flavor!
