Turkish Coffee (TurkKahvesi)

Turkish Coffee (TurkKahvesi)

There is a Turkish proverb: "drink your cup of Turkish coffee, remember your friendship for forty years." In the streets and alleys of Turkey, there are shops with "coffee" signs, some with a small coffee cup painted, and the edge of the cup seems to be steaming.

After drinking coffee, Turks always look at the traces of coffee powder left at the bottom of the coffee cup to understand the luck of the day from its appearance.

Turkish coffee is neither distilled nor brewed, but uses very fine Turkish coffee powder, with cold water, and boils slowly over low heat in a small ladle pot to produce cups of bitter and strong foamed coffee. Smart Turks know that such strong coffee is harmful to health, so the porcelain coffee cups and plates used are very small, about half the capacity of ordinary coffee cups.

Preparation method: pour the deep-fried coffee and cinnamon and other spices into the milk basin, stir well, then pour into the pan, add some water to boil 3 times, and remove from the fire. After the powder settles, pour the clear liquid into the cup, then slowly add orange juice and honey to serve.
