Turkish Coffee

Ingredients :

An ibrik or cezve

Some sugar

1/2 cup water

Small cup Turkish coffee

Prepare the Turkish Coffee

Once the concoction comes to a low boil, remove the ibrik from the stove and lower the flame. Add 2-3 heaping teaspoons of coffee to the pot and slightly stir in. Put the pot back on the stove. Watch carefully as the mixture will start to tremble and foam quickly. You do not want to let the mixture boil over. Continue Heating the Turkish CoffeeOnce you notice the foam rising, remove the ibrik from the heat and let it cool for 15-30 seconds before placing it back on the stove. Repeat this process of removal and replacement 2-4 more times before serving. Serving Turkish CoffeeTo serve, skim the foam off the top and drip it into the cup, now pour the coffee in. Let the brew sit for a minute while the grinds settle to the bottom, and then enjoy your extra dark roast. If you dont have a ibrik or cezve you can just use a small pot on the stove.
