Restated from the original video
- 1
Measure the water with the coffee cups you will serve in, one cup per person, and pour it into a cezve.
- 2
Add the coffee and the sugar, if using, and stir until no dry powder floats on top.
- 3
Set the cezve over low heat and leave it alone; do not stir again from here on.
- 4
Heat slowly until a thick foam builds and starts to climb the pot, 3-4 min. Pull it off the heat before it boils.
- 5
Spoon some foam into each cup.
- 6
Return the cezve to the heat and let the coffee rise once more, about 30 seconds, then take it off just before it boils.
- 7
Pour slowly into the cups, aiming at the foam so it stays intact.
- 8
Leave for 1 min so the grounds settle, then serve with a glass of water. Do not drink the sludge at the bottom.
About turkish coffee
Turkish coffee is very finely ground coffee simmered slowly with water and sugar in a small pot, unfiltered, so the grounds settle at the bottom of the cup after pouring.
