Spiced Turkish Coffee Recipes

TURKISH COFFEE

Steps:

• Bring water and sugar to a boil in ibrik.
• If you do not have an ibrik, a small saucepan will work.
• Remove from heat, add coffee and cardamom.
• Return saucepan to heat and allow to come to a boil.
• Remove from heat when coffee foams.
• Again, return to heat, allowing to foam and remove from heat.
• Pour into cup, and allow to sit for a few minutes for the grounds to settle to the bottom of the cup.
• Cardamom pod may be served in cup for added flavor.
• TURKISH COFFEE TIPS:.
• ****** Many people have made note that the coffee did not foam the second boiling. Sorry about that. Maybe if, when you pour the coffee into the cup, you do it from up high. I think I read that somewhere.
• Turkish coffee must always be served with foam on top.
• If you can't find finely ground Arabic coffee, you can purchase a bag of coffee at any coffeehouse and ask them to grind it for Turkish coffee. You need to have a powder-like consistency.
• Do not stir after pouring into cups; the foam will collapse.
• Always use cold water.

TURKISH COFFEE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Pour the water into the cezve. Add the coffee and sugar, if using. Mix well to dissolve the coffee and sugar. Do not stir after this point.
• Place the cezve on the stovetop over medium heat. After a few minutes, the coffee will rise and foam up.
• Just before it begins to boil, remove the cezve from the heat. Skim off the foam, adding a little to each serving cup. Return the cezve to the heat and let it slowly foam up again.
• Pour the coffee very slowly into the serving cups so the foam rises to the top.
• Let the coffee settle for a few minutes, then serve.

TURKISH COFFEE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan over high heat until the sugar dissolves and the syrup turns clear. Pour into a double boiler along with the cream and milk. Whisk until the syrup has dissolved into the milk, then whisk in the egg yolks and instant coffee until completely incorporated.
• Set the double boiler insert over (but not touching) a pan of gently simmering water. Cook, stirring constantly until the custard has thickened and will stick to the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Pour through a mesh strainer into a bowl and stir in the coffee grounds. Refrigerate several hours until cold.
• Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions.

MOROCCAN COFFEE WITH SIX FRAGRANT SPICES

Steps:

• Combine the spices with the coffee beans in a grinder and whirr until the beans are finely ground.
• Bring 4 cups of water to boil.
• Put some milk-a cup or more-in a small saucepan over a low flame to heat. Do not let it come to a boil.
• If you are making the coffee in a filtered maker: Pour the coffee mixture into the paper-lined brewing cup. Pour about 2 ounces of boiling water over the coffee to allow the grounds to "bloom." Then slowly add the rest of the water, allowing it to drip through the grounds into the pot below.
• Or (for Mikekey) if you are using a French press: Put the coffee and spice mixture in the bottom of the press pot. Pour in the requisite amount of boiling water, put the top in place and let the mixture steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Press the plunger down.
• Pour the spiced coffee into cups and add hot milk (and sugar) if desired. Serve at once.
