    Traditional Turkish Coffee
    Servings: 2
    Difficulty: Easy
    Prep time: 2 minutes
    Cooking time: 5 minutes
    2 heaped teaspoons Turkish coffee - 1 teaspoon Turkish coffee per cup), (you can buy Turkish coffee from a middle eastern market or order online)
    2 Turkish coffee cups of water (100-120 ml)
    • Mix the Turkish coffee and water in a Turkish coffee pot (cezve) until well combined. You can use a small saucepan as well.
    • The ratio for delicious Turkish coffee is one coffee cup cold water and one heaped teaspoon Turkish coffee.
    • You can make your coffee with sugar. If you want your coffee sweet, add adequate amount of sugar into coffee and water. Never add the sugar after your coffee is cooked. Depending on your taste, for less sweet coffee add ¼ teaspoon sugar, for medium add ½ teaspoon sugar and for sweet add 1 teaspoon sugar.
    • Put the coffee pot on your smallest burner and bring to a boil on the lowest heat.
    • While it’s cooking, slowly stir it time to time. The important thing is that traditional Turkish coffee must have a thick foam, so when you stir it you should avoid stirring fast in order to keep the foam.
    • When the sides of the coffee start to rise, remove your cezve from the heat immediately and apportion one third of the coffee to the cups with the foam.
    • Put back the cezve on heat for the second boil and again apportion the second third of the coffee and repeat again for a third and final time.
    • The traditional Turkish coffee is always served with a glass of water to clean your mouth before drinking your coffee. The other traditions are serving with a small cup of liqueur or Turkish delight. Enjoy your coffee and don’t forget to close your cup for the fortune teller😜!

    In Palestine we drink our coffee the same way except when we ground the coffee beans we add cardamom, Cardamom makes a huge difference in the taste for the best. Also, we make a huge deal about the roasting of the coffee beans, and the ratios of mixing (my favourite is 2/3 blond and 1/3 Black) blond is lightly toasted and black is fully toasted. Have a nice Finjan of coffee

    My grandma was only drinking Turkish coffee traditional way and ALWAYS turned the cup and red in it! She was really good! She had 2 or 3 cups she studied each day. This show just sent me back to my childhood! Thank you, guys! And, by the way, Refika, I like very much the brand you used in the show! We have it Romania also and it is very good and aromatic! Another memory I had was from my other grandmother... when she was preparing coffee, she started first with the roasting (she bought only green beans), she had a special coffee roaster, like a covered pan with a little “door” and an inside system for stirring the beans. This coffee roaster was used on an open fire burner and it was a real skill to roast the coffee just before burning it! Than, we used a golden metal hand grinder, the type you have in Turkey, to grind the freshly roasted coffee beans into a very fine granulation. Than, you made the coffee! And that process was also very precise! On low heat, you stir when the first “kaimak” was rising, then, the second one was collected with the teaspoon and equally divided into the coffee cups. Only after the third boiling the rest of the coffee was put in cups and served. It took more than 1 hour to make some coffee, but, oh my gosh! The smell, and the ritual made that coffee magic! Thank you for your happy vibes! And great recipes! ❤️🌈✨

    Refika, I'm so glad that you would tell us how your grandfather would drink his coffee! My husband is Yaqui Indian, a tribe of indigenous people originating from the Yaqui River Valley in northwest Mexico. Like most original people of the Americas they have moved/felt forced to move over the last few centuries, particularly since Europeans invaded, yet they remain in history "undefeated" and in US history they are recognized as a tribe...despite the fact that they neither ever signed a treaty with the US, nor needed to surrender to the US.
    My husband drinks his coffee just as you demonstrated how your grandfather did. And now, I'll never scold him again!
    I'm not a coffee drinker, or I'd learn to drink it that way, but at least my husband's sniffing and slurping his coffee will now be more peaceful for him!

      @@suntzu2812 That's interesting, Henniffer. My husband has always, and he is over 70 years old, referred to himself as a "Yaqui Indian". Maybe this is a generational dispute. My husband was born in 1949 and I was born in 1959.
      How old are you? I only ask because I can understand that people born after me may have a different perspective. And I am interested in yours...as well as everybody else's perspective.
      My husband's family migrated to the US from the Yaqui River Valley in the early twentieth century. Without bothering you with too much detail, Mexicans, United States "citizens" and (shall I please you with) "indigenous to the US southwest" peoples were in various stages of battle, if not war. It was a very unsettled time and particularly precarious for my husband's people, the Yaquis.
      I could go on to explain to you how the Yaquis and the Jesuits from centuries before actually made a beautiful peace regarding "religion", but my biggest concern is that you see me for who I am, my husband for who he is, and that I may turn your frowny face into a smile?
      Blessings!

I didn't expect it to feel so life changing, but when my friends and I started getting vaccinated and started leaving the house and hanging out together, I never realized how much it made a difference in how I felt.

    What a treat this was--I was *flooded* with memories! My grandmother taught me how to read coffee cups, and she did two things that might interest you. First of all, she put cardamom (khakhuleh) in it, which I love. Second, she said that if your cup sticks like Bahar's did, you shouldn't read it, and it meant very good things were coming. Oh, and she always served it with candied ginger.

    Perfect timing! Was just going to tuck into my second cup of coffee. We actually own a Turkish coffee pot and have access to the coffee at our Middle East market.
    A big favorite is to go to the Greek festival and sip coffee like this with their pastries.

    How timely! The Turkish coffee I ordered online arrived yesterday. Same brand as you’re using in this video! Mehmet Efendi. 😁 Now I believe Refıka can tell fortunes or read minds. 😉 I have the coffee, the cesve, some lokum - rose flavor and pomegranate/pistachio. One thing missing though, an authentic Turkish porcelain cup and saucer. ☺️

      @@Refika ♥️ I made it this afternoon and it’s OUT OF THIS WORLD! Sorry but not sorry Starbucks. 😂 Dear sweet Refıka, in the few Turkish words I know… “Çok güzel! Çok sevindim! Harika!” Perhaps I’m only saying this because I made it by myself and I’m quite proud of doing it right the first time, but of course nothing can rival the flavor and texture of a cup enjoyed like one would at an Istanbul coffee shop. ♥️ fil batmaz indeed! I wish I had sent you a photo. 🌷🌷🌷 I’ll make this a tradition when I have guests at home. Teşekkür ederim Refıka. ♥️♥️♥️

I started watching coffee videos and trying to learn different methods. Turkish coffee has become my favorite. I'm getting better at making it, but i still need practice. Thanks so much!

I don't have the pretty little cups, but I have a pretty set that are a little bit bigger. Now I'm doing one cup just for me. What a treat.

    Same coffee in Greece, I like mine medium-sweet....and rarely in a bigger cup with some milk. I enjoy very much as it is a "companion" coffee to be shared with friends. Same tradition (at least when I was younger, that the girl of the house would make the coffee and serve it - oh, the horror of spilling it! Fortune telling is the same way I remember from older ladies.

      Please Keep an eye in the coffee pot,, Copper has to be coated with tin metal,, to avoid poisoning,, if that silver colored tin layer turns to greenish colour, means it lost its coating layer, so stop using it,, it could be coated again by some shops in turkey,,,
