If you drink coffee in Turkey, don't drink it all at once! Not only is a small drink not enough, but you can't drink it to the end. The reason is that Turkish coffee does not filter out the coffee powder. Turkish coffee must first grind the coffee beans into powder, heat them with water in a metal coffee pot with a handle and keep stirring, and then drink it when a fine foam rises on the surface of the boiling water.

If you want to add sugar, you must add it at the stage of brewing coffee, because if you pour it into a cup, the coffee powder will slowly settle, and stirring with sugar will affect the taste; as for adding milk? I've never seen Turkish coffee with milk in Turkey. Because the coffee beans are ground into powder, Turkish coffee is very strong and thick, leaving thick coffee grounds in the coffee cup after tasting the coffee. It is said that the Turks will comment on the appearance of the coffee grounds, similar to fortune-telling (the procedure is a bit complicated. Pour the finished coffee cup back and forth with the lid of the coffee tray … aah! aah! Another anecdote about Turkish coffee is about the local tradition. When the marriageable man comes to the woman's house to propose, if the husband intends to do so and the sister is ruthless, the girl will offer the salted coffee to express her refusal. On the contrary, Ruo Mei will gladly accept it. Sweet Turkish coffee is about to be served!
