I love Turkish coffee very much because: it instantly energizes, facilitates losing weight, it is the symbol of friendly conversations, it is our cultural heritage… Every Friday, I make myself foamy Turkish coffee, think about what happened in my life and write my dreams in my notebook.

How is Turkish coffee made?
As a result of my experiments, I saw that the best Turkish coffee is made in a copper pot. If you want to make coffee worthy of your mouth, you should buy a copper ore first thing. But if you want, you can use Turkish coffee cooking method in the cup in the video and make it without walnut, but my choice is copper walnut. We have four basic ingredients to prepare the coffee: cold water, Turkish coffee, a cup, a coffee pot. If these are ready, let’s get started right away:
Fill the Turkish coffee cup with water and take this water into walnut. Put a heaping teaspoon of Turkish coffee for each cup. If you use sugar, you can add half a teaspoon for medium coffee or a teaspoon for sweetened coffee per cup. One of the most important tricks is that coffee, water and sugar mix well together, do this carefully.
Set the coffee pot to the smallest compartment of the stove and to the lowest heat. The secret of viscous, foamy Turkish coffee is that it is cooked slowly over low heat. While your coffee is being cooked, you will never mix it so that the foam does not escape. Carefully wait for the coffee to froth, keep an eye on it so that it does not overflow and spill on the stove. During this waiting period, you can think of your dreams or what you will do the next day, like I did.
When the Turkish coffee froths in the pot, take it from the stove immediately and pour half the coffee into the pot. (This is called stealing foam.) Put the walnut back on the stove and hold it until a very light bubble comes out. But be careful, you will never boil the coffee because then Turkish coffee will burn and taste bad. Yes, now slowly pour the remaining coffee into the cup, and the foamy Turkish coffee is ready!
Believe me, it is easier to make than to write =) It will not take even 3 minutes to prepare the foamy Turkish coffee …

I love Turkish delight next to Turkish coffee, but this is now classic for me, I want to surprise my guests. If you want to try different Turkish coffee treats, take a look at my suggestions below:
- I take out the core of the big and sweet Medina, put an almond or walnut in it and serve it with the coffee. It both takes the bitterness of the coffee and sweetens the palate.
- Dark chocolate goes well with coffee, but you should not put the chocolate in the coffee plate because the heat comes from the cup, the chocolate melts and the presentation is ruined. So you can buy cups with space for additional ingredients on the plate or serve them on another small plate.
- Besides Turkish coffee, I offer Ottoman sherbet in small glasses as an amazing presentation. Everyone asks what happened before they drink it and likes it very much. Ottoman sherbets are very easy to recipe, you can always make them and drink them for your health and taste. Click here for recipes.

Have you tried chocolate Turkish coffee?
I love plain Turkish coffee, but Turkish coffee with chocolate has another place in my heart! I love this foamy, sweetly flavored coffee, and I share the recipe with you right below.
Put 1 small square dark chocolate and cold water into a pot and mix. Heat on low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove the coffee pot from the stove and let it sit for a few minutes so that the chocolate is lightly warm and the coffee does not burn. Add 1 teaspoon of Turkish coffee to the lukan mixture, mix and cook over low heat until the coffee foams. Take it to your cup and serve it on a tray with a large glass of water.
What are the tips of Turkish coffee with chocolate?
Do not put all the ingredients in the walnut at the same time; Because the chocolate melts immediately and prevents the coffee from foaming. Add the chocolate and water, then the coffee, exactly as described. After melting the chocolate, make sure to let it cool so that if you add Turkish coffee to the boiling water at once, the coffee will burn and its taste will get bitter.
