Turkish coffee

[Cheba_Mami]

(maybe this receipe is already in here somewhere)

Ingredients (approximate quantities for ½ litre)
2-3 tbs of very finely-ground rich coffee
4 heaped tsp of sugar (or to taste)
Optional: 3 cardamom seeds, OR one sprig of coriander, OR two tsp of rosewater (i'd lrather leave out the coriander)

Method

(To make really authentic ‘Turkish’ coffee you need a narrow-topped pot that can be heated on a stove. Pots like this are used to make coffee in the most expensive restaurants and on desert camp-fires. You can use any heat-proof pot, but be careful.)

Fill the pot with about ½ litre of water and place it on the heat. As the water begins to heat up, add the sugar, stir, and then top up with the coffee. When the water boils, let it begin to foam, but quickly reduce the heat before the coffee boils over. Repeat this three times. Remove from the heat and add any optional flavouring. Allow the coffee to cool for a minute, then pour it into small cups.

Turkish coffee should be sipped slowly, and enjoyed with friends.

Interesting!

That is how villagers in India, who do not have means of extracting decoction / a coffee maker, make coffee.

The picture has the color of Turkish coffee.
Is it a coincidence?
