Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (about 100 ml) cold water
- 1 heaping tablespoon (about 7 grams) finely ground Turkish coffee
- 1/4 teaspoon (about 0.5 grams) ground cardamom
- 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
- Cardamom pods (optional, bruised for more intense flavor)
Instructions
- Add 1 cup (about 100 ml) of cold water into your cezve.
- Add 1 heaping tablespoon (about 7 grams) of finely ground Turkish coffee and 1/4 teaspoon (about 0.5 grams) of ground cardamom.
- If desired, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sugar.
- Stir gently just enough to combine without overmixing.
- Place the cezve on low heat and warm slowly to develop foam without boiling over.
- When thick foam forms and starts to rise (within 3 to 5 minutes), remove from heat.
- Spoon some foam into each coffee cup evenly.
- Return the cezve to heat and let the foam rise once more, then remove from heat again.
- Pour the coffee gently into the cups, distributing the liquid without disturbing the foam.
- Let the grounds settle for a minute before sipping.
Notes
Keep heat low to avoid burning or boiling over. Foam is essential for authentic Turkish coffee; if it disappears, gently reheat to recreate it. Use freshly ground coffee for best flavor. Traditionally served without milk but can add warm milk or coconut milk after brewing if desired. Serve with a glass of cold water and a small sweet like Turkish delight or dark chocolate.
