Directions
Turkish Coffee,From Saad Fayed, Turkish coffee is famed for the way it is made. It is prepared in an ibrik, a small coffee pot that is heated. Sugar is added during the brewing process, not after, so the need for a serving spoon is eliminated. Cream or milk is never added to Turkish coffee, and sugar is optional. It is always served in demitasse cups. In some regions, your fortune is told by the placement of the coffee grinds left in the cup!,Here’s a technique for keeping the foam on your Turkish coffee: Add the coffee (and sugar, etc) to the water before heating. Don’t bring it to a “boil”. Bring it up to just below a boil, where the mixture just starts to bubble and the “plug” of coffee starts to expand. (The advantage of the ibrik over a saucepan is that the ibrik’s “chimney” gathers the floating coffee into a more compact mass.) Take it off the heat and let the foam reduce a bit (say about 20 seconds), then repeat one or two times. NEVER bring Turkish coffee to a full boil, boiling breaks down the elastic characteristics of the “plug” of coffee.,If Turkish coffee must always be served with foam on top why doesn’t the coffee pictured here have foam?

****** Many People Have Made Note That the Coffee Did not Foam the Second Boiling. Sorry About That. Maybe If, When You Pour the Coffee Into the Cup, You Do It from Up High. I Think I Read That Somewhere. |
