Real Coffee – A Recipe to make Turkish Coffee

Winter with Zetetick: all our seasonal recipes

This Turkish coffee recipe comes from an old family accounts book found by our CEO, Jonathan Spencer. He is not sure where it originated, but his father had the equipment to make it and he thinks it dates from the 1950s.

A copper coffeepot with a long handle and without a lid should be used…the coffee should be served in very small Turkish coffee cups

For four small cups use the following quantities:

Begin to boil 4 cups of water in your pot

Add six lumps of sugar

Add 4 teaspoons of coffee to the boiling water and sugar

Stir until the mixture comes to the boil and is frothy

Remove from the heat to allow the froth subside, then replace the pot on the heat and boil again

Repeat this operation 4 times

Pour the coffee

Pour a little Turkish coffee into each cup and divide the froth amongst the cups

If you want to serve in a larger cup then increase the amount of coffee to a dessert spoon per cup.

Hey cool fashionable coffee from the 50s before Nescafe took the day.
