merhaba, class.
can someone tell me the traditional steps to brew türk kahvesi??
cos i've brought several packages of türk kahvesi, but yet, i don't know how to brew and the utensils involved. also, are the leftovers after drinking useful for fortune telling?? just like the greek coffee.
thxxx

just put a little water in a coffee pot and put 2 teaspoon turkish coffee and sugar(how much do you want) and put it on fire and mix it till it near boils(about 2-3 mins.).Good appetite!

is there any rountine step for adding coffee powder followed by sugar?? or vice versa? cos i've heard somebody telling that "add sugar first, b4 adding coffee"...i m doubted!!

you should add the sugar first for the best result.. then the coffee.. and you should take the froth of the coffe before it boils into the glasses.. you will understand when you should take it.. there appears a whitish brown froth on the top.. brush that froths with the spoon during the coffee pot is on the firplace.. the more you do this the better your coffe will be..

thanks for your great tips...
i'll try to brew asap!! serefe!!

hey,
this title must be mine

Lululi,

The way I make it is as follows:

1. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar per person (if you drink it sweet then add additional 1/2 spoon or decrease it)
2. Add 1 tea spoon of coffee per person (I typically will add an extra 1/2 to 1 spoon of coffee as it creates more froft.)
3. Mix it together with your tea spoon
4. Take your Turkish coffee cup and fill it will water
5. If you are making coffee for two then put two turkish cups of water (these cups are usually very small)
6. Let it boil until you see the froft raise.
7. Take your tea spoon and take some of the froft out and putting it in the cups.
8. Let the coffee come to boil again.
9. Stir it and begin adding it to the cups.

Valla........

Let me know how this turns out for you. And yes, the coffee grinds will settle at the bottom of the cup, which can be used to read for fortune telling.

thank you for your kindly reply, let's enjoy türkçe kahvesi.
