Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee is a traditional drink made from very finely ground beans boiled in a small vessel called a cezve. This unique method of preparation originates from the times of the Ottoman Empire and today belongs to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Grinding coffee to fine dust is key for preparation. Sugar is added directly to the water during brewing, not at the table. The drink is not filtered, so grounds remain at the bottom of the cup.
