Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee is a strong coffee made with the darkest roast available. French or Italian roasts are suitable. It is brewed with sugar, except at funerals, when it is presented bitter. A traditional Turkish coffee is prepared with a great deal of care while roasting and grinding, and it is served in espresso-size cups (finjan). Get the darkest roast available, and ask the coffee bean shop to grind it for Turkish coffee use; this is the finest grind available.
1 teaspoon finely ground dark roast coffee for one cup of coffee
1 teaspoon sugar for one cup of coffee
1 cup of water for one cup of coffee
Combine the coffee, sugar and water in a coffeepot. Stir it a bit and when you think it is enoughly stirred heat the coffee mixture until near boiling point.(It must boil if you want high quality, let it boil and near overflow of coffee, take it out of fire.)
Remove from heat, let set for few seconds so the coffee grounds settle down, then pour in finjans or esspresso cups.
Good appetite
