Traditional Way of Making Turkish Coffee It is quite simple, really.
Place water in a coffee pot.
Follow a stringent measurement so you can get the desired taste.
A cup and half of cold water is enough for one cup of coffee for one person.
Add one teaspoon of ground coffee and stir it up constantly.
If you want your coffee sweet, add sugar immediately.
The measurements depend on how sweet you like it to be but 2 tablespoons of sugar is enough.
Make sure you stir constantly so the coffee grounds will not sink to the bottom and burn.
It will leave a bitter taste to your coffee which is something you would not want.
Stirring constantly also helps keep the thick consistency of the coffee.
Keep stirring for about 20 minutes until foam starts to develop.
If you are making only one cup, pour everything in your cup once it boils.
If you are making coffee for your guests, you should fill up the cup halfway through and boil the remaining coffee until foam appears again and distribute the foam evenly.
Other countries also have incorporated their own version of brewing this type of coffee.
In Bosnia, for instance, instead of using Turkish beans, they prefer to use local Bosnian coffee such as Saraj Kafa and Minas.
It is, however, concocted in much the same way.
Coffee drinking in Bosnia is considered as a social gathering.
If other people gather and drink beer or wine, Bosnians prefer the comforting aroma of Turkish coffee.
In Israel, this coffee is not boiled but rather mixed with boiled coffee.
It does not produce froth that is present in boiled coffee so the taste is rather milder than the one with froth.
There are also particular gadgets one can use to make this kind of coffee.
A pot with a small spout and partnered with a rod ensures a slightly insulated, slow brewing style.
However, you can use any coffee pot you have at home.
