How to prepare a Turkish coffee with foam

TURKISH COFFEE
It is prepared in the “cezve” (\dʒɛz.ve\), a typical copper and brass vessel with a long handle.
To prepare it, you need to buy very finely ground coffee.
It is drunk in small, low cups, once the powder has completely settled.

How to make Turkish coffee with foam:

*Pour as many cups of cold water into the cezve as the number of coffees you wish to prepare. For example: for 2 coffees = 2 cups of cold water.
Add as many heaping teaspoons of coffee to the cold water as there are cups of water. For example: for 2 coffees = 2 heaping spoons.

*Sweeten to your liking and stir to dissolve the sugar.

*Stir everything together off the heat until the coffee and sugar are well diluted.
Heat over low-medium heat until foam forms on top of the coffee. Be careful not to stir the coffee or you will not get any foam!

*When the foam starts to appear, remove the coffee from the heat. The coffee should not boil!
Divide the foam between all the cups and put the coffee back on the fire. Foam should form on top. Remove coffee from heat and pour into cups.
If you want more foam, you can repeat the process several times before pouring the coffee into the cups.

*Pour the hot coffee over the foam very gently. Ideally, it would be good to do this very gently so as not to dissipate the foam. It should remain intact on top. A good coffee is judged by the quality of the foam at the time of service. The more the better!

Enjoy the tasting!
