For a spicier version, brew the coffee with a few cloves and a cinnamon stick. Recommended coffee: Espresso Dark Roast

Turkish Coffee

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tbspn fine ground coffee (not instant)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Method:

  1. Measure water and sugar in small saucepan. Dissolve the sugar in the water by bringing the mixture to a boil stirring constantly.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in coffee.
  3. Return to heat and bring slowly back to a boil.
  4. When the coffee begins to rise up remove from heat.  and when foaming recedes - return to heat and bring back to a boil.
  5. Repeat this procedure three times.

The goal is to get maximum coffee flavor without over boiling. There should be a thick sediment on the bottom and a brown froth on the top.

Serve coffee by pouring gradually into each cup to evenly distribute the sediment.
