TURKISH COFFEE....KAH'WAH

Steps:

• Place water and sugar in a large enough pot to boil the water.
• Make sure you allow room, because boiling coffee tends to want to boil up and over.
• Once boil is achieved, add coffee, very slowly, and decrease heat.
• Stir coffee very frequently.
• When making it, I let it comes to a boil and when it starts to boil up the pot I take it off the burner for 2 seconds, then repeat the steps 3-4 times.
• Serve in demitasse cups.
• *Do not leave coffee boiling on stove unattended, it WILL boil over*.
• *If serving for a large group, just double or triple the recipe accordingly*.
