Turkish Coffee Kah Wah Recipes

Steps:

• Bring water and sugar to a boil in ibrik.
• If you do not have an ibrik, a small saucepan will work.
• Remove from heat, add coffee and cardamom.
• Return saucepan to heat and allow to come to a boil.
• Remove from heat when coffee foams.
• Again, return to heat, allowing to foam and remove from heat.
• Pour into cup, and allow to sit for a few minutes for the grounds to settle to the bottom of the cup.
• Cardamom pod may be served in cup for added flavor.
• TURKISH COFFEE TIPS:.
• ****** 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.
• Turkish coffee must always be served with foam on top.
• If you can't find finely ground Arabic coffee, you can purchase a bag of coffee at any coffeehouse and ask them to grind it for Turkish coffee. You need to have a powder-like consistency.
• Do not stir after pouring into cups; the foam will collapse.
• Always use cold water.

Steps:

• Place water and sugar in a large enough pot to boil the water.
• Make sure you allow room, because boiling coffee tends to want to boil up and over.
• Once boil is achieved, add coffee, very slowly, and decrease heat.
• Stir coffee very frequently.
• When making it, I let it comes to a boil and when it starts to boil up the pot I take it off the burner for 2 seconds, then repeat the steps 3-4 times.
• Serve in demitasse cups.
• *Do not leave coffee boiling on stove unattended, it WILL boil over*.
• *If serving for a large group, just double or triple the recipe accordingly*.

Steps:

• Measure water and sugar in small saucepan. Dissolve the sugar in the water by bringing the mixture to a boil stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in coffee. Return to heat and bring slowly back to a boil.
• When the coffee begins to rise up remove from heat. When foaming recedes return to heat and bring back to a boil. Repeat this procedure three times . The goal is to get maximum coffee flavor without over boiling. There should be a thick sediment on the bottom and a brown froth on the top.
• Best way to Drink: Serve the coffee by pouring gradually into each cup to evenly distribute the sediment.

Steps:

• (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.

Steps:

• Place one espresso size cup of cold water or milk (Depending upon the variety chosen from above) into cazve/very small pot.
• Add one teaspoon of powdered Turkish Coffee into the cazve/very small pot.
• Add sugar if desired depending which variety you wish to drink.
• Stir and heat on stove immediately, coffee will rise, remove from heat and add one spoon of froth into serving cup.
• Return pot to heat and cook until coffee rises again. This could be done once or three times in total each time spoon froth into serving cup. Once the three repetitions are complete, add the rest of the coffee from the pot into the serving cup.
• Good kahve has a creamy foam floating on top. (Similar to the crema found atop good espresso coffee but with a great deal more body).
• Do not drink grounds on the bottom of the cup.
