Jean_favicon.jpg Turkish Coffee




Serves Yehudit, Irit and others.

Any Turk knows that after every good meal, a good cup of coffee has to be made.... The thing is, that some people (not to mention names zahava) can't wait / don't like / don't know - run into the kitchen and prepare a cup of instant coffee (with milk, has ve shalom). However, the mainstream will choose Turkish coffee, or as Ema Jean calls it - "Cooked Coffee".



Ingredients:

Some Water
Some Turkish coffee, ground, open bag, preferably old, even very old. so old that the brand doesn't really matter. 
Optional

Cardamom spice (hell) - dramatically enhances the coffee's taste.

Just if insisted Sugar


Preparation:

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a kitchen pot (the one used for the broccoli is recommended).
  2. Put on a high fire until it boils
  3. Keep on boiling until all the aroma goes away (this is not necessary but is reality with all the work Jean has to do after the feast).
  4. Have someone like Yehudit, Irit or Reuven ask yelling "where is the coffee?!" 
  5. Pour the coffee into small cups and serve with some cookies. 
  6. If someone needs sugar, help them with that.
