(Turkish Coffee)

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6.

Ingredients

4 ounces dark- or Vienna-roast coffee beans
6 tablespoons sugar

Preparation

  1. In a coffee grinder, grind the coffee beans until they are as fine as flour. In a copper Turkish coffee pot or small heavy saucepan combine 4 tablespoons of the ground coffee, the sugar, and 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove the pot from the heat, stir the coffee well, and return the pot to the heat. Let the coffee come to a boil again and remove the pot from the heat, letting the grounds settle. Repeat the boiling up and settling process 2 more times. Cover the pot, let the coffee stand for 2 minutes, and add 1/3 cup cold water, letting the coffee settle for 1 minute more. Pour the coffee into demitasse cups.
