Turkish Coffee Ingredients Excelso Coffee (fine grind) Sugar Spices (cardamom, cloves, nutmeg or cinnamon stick)

Turkish coffee is made in the same way as the earliest coffee drinkers used to brew their beans.  Ground coffee, sugar and water are put into a small brass jug with a long handle, called an ibriq or ibrik.  Traditionally cardamom is added.

Preparation

• Using a small pan or ibrik, add a heaped teaspoon of coffee and a teaspoon of sugar for for each demitasse cup of cold water.
• Add spices (cardamom is traditional), you may want to experiment.
  Bring the brew to a near-boil and remove from the heat, stir and let the foam and grinds settle.
• Repeat this three times and then pour into a demitasse and let the sediment settle for about five minutes.
• It is traditional to drink Turkish coffee strong and sweet, without milk, but as with all coffee it is a matter of taste.

• Whip the double cream with the sugar.
• Pour the coffee into four cups and soon on the whipped cream.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and cocoa.
