Traditional Turkish Coffee
Servings: 2
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 2 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
2 heaped teaspoons Turkish coffee - 1 teaspoon Turkish coffee per cup), (you can buy Turkish coffee from a middle eastern market or order online)
2 Turkish coffee cups of water (100-120 ml)
• Mix the Turkish coffee and water in a Turkish coffee pot (cezve) until well combined. You can use a small saucepan as well.
• The ratio for delicious Turkish coffee is one coffee cup cold water and one heaped teaspoon Turkish coffee.
• You can make your coffee with sugar. If you want your coffee sweet, add adequate amount of sugar into coffee and water. Never add the sugar after your coffee is cooked. Depending on your taste, for less sweet coffee add ¼ teaspoon sugar, for medium add ½ teaspoon sugar and for sweet add 1 teaspoon sugar.
• Put the coffee pot on your smallest burner and bring to a boil on the lowest heat.
• While it’s cooking, slowly stir it time to time. The important thing is that traditional Turkish coffee must have a thick foam, so when you stir it you should avoid stirring fast in order to keep the foam.
• When the sides of the coffee start to rise, remove your cezve from the heat immediately and apportion one third of the coffee to the cups with the foam.
• Put back the cezve on heat for the second boil and again apportion the second third of the coffee and repeat again for a third and final time.
• The traditional Turkish coffee is always served with a glass of water to clean your mouth before drinking your coffee. The other traditions are serving with a small cup of liqueur or Turkish delight. Enjoy your coffee and don’t forget to close your cup for the fortune teller😜!

My grandma was only drinking Turkish coffee traditional way and ALWAYS turned the cup and red in it! She was really good! She had 2 or 3 cups she studied each day. This show just sent me back to my childhood! Thank you, guys! And, by the way, Refika, I like very much the brand you used in the show! We have it Romania also and it is very good and aromatic! Another memory I had was from my other grandmother... when she was preparing coffee, she started first with the roasting (she bought only green beans), she had a special coffee roaster, like a covered pan with a little “door” and an inside system for stirring the beans. This coffee roaster was used on an open fire burner and it was a real skill to roast the coffee just before burning it! Than, we used a golden metal hand grinder, the type you have in Turkey, to grind the freshly roasted coffee beans into a very fine granulation. Than, you made the coffee! And that process was also very precise! On low heat, you stir when the first “kaimak” was rising, then, the second one was collected with the teaspoon and equally divided into the coffee cups. Only after the third boiling the rest of the coffee was put in cups and served. It took more than 1 hour to make some coffee, but, oh my gosh! The smell, and the ritual made that coffee magic! Thank you for your happy vibes! And great recipes! ❤️🌈✨

[@IHATENOTIFICATIONS]

Wonderful story!

[@user-lf9yi1vk9x]

We did it the same way (without the roasting part). My father calculated how many times you should turn the golden hand grinder for a small or big cup of coffee. We always grinded just what we needed and used the electric coffee grinder only for making icing sugar

In Palestine we drink our coffee the same way except when we ground the coffee beans we add cardamom, Cardamom makes a huge difference in the taste for the best. Also, we make a huge deal about the roasting of the coffee beans, and the ratios of mixing (my favourite is 2/3 blond and 1/3 Black) blond is lightly toasted and black is fully toasted.

Refika, I'm so glad that you would tell us how your grandfather would drink his coffee! My husband is Yaqui Indian, a tribe of indigenous people originating from the Yaqui River Valley in northwest Mexico. Like most original people of the Americas they have moved/felt forced to move over the last few centuries, particularly since Europeans invaded, yet they remain in history "undefeated" and in US history they are recognized as a tribe...despite the fact that they neither ever signed a treaty with the US, nor needed to surrender to the US. My husband drinks his coffee just as you demonstrated how your grandfather did. And now, I'll never scold him again! I'm not a coffee drinker, or I'd learn to drink it that way, but at least my husband's sniffing and slurping his coffee will now be more peaceful for him!

[@Refika]

hahaha 😘 thanks for sharing with me 🥰🙏

[@MasterOfWarLordOfPeace]

" My husband is Yaqui *Indian* " "they remain in history undefeated" I think they all were defeated if even a family member uses the word "Indian" :(

[@cornfloats7004]

@@MasterOfWarLordOfPeace That's interesting, Henniffer. My husband has always, and he is over 70 years old, referred to himself as a "Yaqui Indian". Maybe this is a generational dispute. My husband was born in 1949 and I was born in 1959. How old are you? I only ask because I can understand that people born after me may have a different perspective. And I am interested in yours...as well as everybody else's perspective. My husband's family migrated to the US from the Yaqui River Valley in the early twentieth century. Without bothering you with too much detail, Mexicans, United States "citizens" and (shall I please you with) "indigenous to the US southwest" peoples were in various stages of battle, if not war. It was a very unsettled time and particularly precarious for my husband's people, the Yaquis. I could go on to explain to you how the Yaquis and the Jesuits from centuries before actually made a beautiful peace regarding "religion", but my biggest concern is that you see me for who I am, my husband for who he is, and that I may turn your frowny face into a smile? Blessings!

Hang in there! It's rough, but you can make it through it. I'm from America and we had a rough time as well. I had even gotten covid and stayed locked up in my house for like a year and a half, living alone. When India gets control of the virus and things start going back to normal, it will feel so good. I didn't expect it to feel so life changing, but when my friends and I started getting vaccinated and started leaving the house and hanging out together, I never realized how much it made a difference in how I felt. Refika and other great content creators on KZbin really make it easier to make it through the pandemic.

[@anahidkassabian4471]

What a treat this was--I was *flooded* with memories! My grandmother taught me how to read coffee cups, and she did two things that might interest you. First of all, she put cardamom (khakhuleh) in it, which I love. Second, she said that if your cup sticks like Bahar's did, you shouldn't read it, and it meant very good things were coming. Oh, and she always served it with candied ginger. Thanks so much for this lovely trip back to my childhood.

I'm from the UK and at home I only really drink Turkish Coffee. A coffee seller showed me how to make it traditionally when I was on holiday in Istanbul about 6 years ago. I buy the Coffee in the Gold/bronze coloured packet or tub from the Turkish store here. On holiday I went to buy coffee every day from the gentlemen selling it near our hotel and on my last day he very very kindly gave me a cezve and a 250g tin of coffee to bring home to the UK. I was going to buy one. I did buy a traditional coffee cup and saucer set though :) and from the Turkish store here at home I bought a Turkish teapot, glasses and saucers. That's also where I now buy Turkish coffee and food from too. He told me that the best coffee is one that's not only very finely ground but one that's made from Arabica coffee beans. I also spent 5 months in Israel volunteering since I went to Turkey and also found that there was a lot of places selling "Turkish, Greek, Lebanese, Syrian etc" coffee.

My first ever "proper" coffee was a Turkish coffee 😀

[@Linda-sv9te]

It's always about history, culture, taste, education and good mood on this channel !❤ I had a very busy weekend, but I'm glad I could finally watch this episode.👌

[@user-bi9nu4vj7m]

In israel they call it- kafe shahor(muddy coffe) and drink it all day. And the other way-in russia (we had a long relationships with the ottoman empire )-we named a cezve as turka-means from turkey

[@audreylenca]

As Turkish, I am obsessed with the double pour, it is the key most important hint of the taste.. I do not like new turkish coffee machines which are not able to pour twice. Traditional way is the best.

[@OmiAzad]

Loved your story telling style from Bangladesh .

[@moonsofourmother2815]

Thanks Aunt Refika ♡

[@bbahtiyar7]

The water next to the coffee is also for the following reason. When guests drink the water first it is a sign that the person is hungry and without asking, the housekeeper can serve them food after the coffee. This is a way of hospitality.

5:08 - The insert of Bahar's face says it all, lol. Never lose your delightfully earthy sense of humor, Refika!

[@darinbomy8964]

That cup is so pretty

[@yvonnewhitehouse]

Wow I’m excited ! I always remember it when I went once to Turkey. Thank you 🌹💐

[@Refika]

it is my pleasure sharing it with you!

[@josdancedance]

i've just made my first cup of turkish coffee at home following your instructions. thanks you so much!! greetings from Mexico

[@AmarPhD.]

I love coffee... Thank you very much for sharing this video.

[@deborahbeatty]

The biggest thing I learned about Turkish coffee was that the “mud” or coffee grounds settle to the bottom 1/3 of the cup and you don’t want to drink past that. Not like brewed coffee where a cup is drained to the bottom. I love Turkish coffee. Thanks for this, there’s no place where I live to have it so will be trying doing it myself.

[@IgnitedMind7799]

Lol..the surrrŕrrr aaaa is soooo indian..but with indian chai ..awesome info..I tried making turkish coffee once using ground coffee beans..couldnt manage the foam..will try again.

[@DavidThompson-qr7bb]

Love the Turkish recipes that you teach. This Turkish Coffee reminds me of my mother making us Black Turkish Coffee with Sugar and 1/2a lemon. Must have some again. I usually drink tea, but now I must have some Turkish Coffee once again, particularly in the winter. I would like to try that Nutella idea. Cheers from Australia.

I really like how 1. Your videos are in English so it can be seen and understood worldwide, 2. You constantly teach and share insights in your videos (like the cafetiere to froth the milk now that is just super handy!!) 3. You give alternatives incase people (most of us) don't have the means or ingredients you use. Çok teşekkürler-Thanking you from London 🌸

[@raniatoubia9586]

Drinking my morning turkish coffee while watching the video. Hello Refika, can you make a turkish dessert called Aşure? Thank you.

[@Refika]

wow, afiyet olsun 🥰 and definitely noted!

[@raniatoubia9586]

@@Refika. Thank you for replying.

[@carischaoticcreations3925]

I'm more of a tea drinker as well. But turkish coffee holds a special place in my heart. I grew up in Los Angeles, and one of my closest friends' family was from Turkey. Every time i would visit my friend, her mom would always make me a cup of Turkish coffee, and each time, she would read my fortune. This brought back a flood of wonderful memories. ❤❤❤

[@namitakashyap7146]

Love your small talk all through the videos... Enjoyed this cup of coffee 😋.

[@elz222]

Very nice! Turkish coffee is delicious - will share this video.

[@draganabrkic9906]

Greetings wonderful Refika. I absolutely love your channel. In Serbia we have the same tradition with Turkish coffee. We have a saying among friends when we need to have a talk:"Stavi dzezvu"-"Put the dzezva on". I love all of your videos and a big shout out to all of you. So positive, so energetic and charismatic. Shiny, happy people❤🍀👌👑
