(Turkish Coffee)

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6.

Ingredients

4 ounces dark- or Vienna-roast coffee beans
6 tablespoons sugar

Preparation

  1. In a coffee grinder, grind the coffee beans until they are as fine as flour. In a copper Turkish coffee pot or small heavy saucepan combine 4 tablespoons of the ground coffee, the sugar, and 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat.

Pour the coffee into demitasse cups.
