A Unique Treat
Turkish coffee is not easy to make, but the results are delicious. First, you need a special coffeepot called a "jezve". This is a long-handled, open brass or copper pot. Pour three small cups of water into the pot. Next, heat the water until it boils. Then remove the pot from the heat. Add three teaspoons of coffee and three teaspoons of sugar to the water. Gently stir the mixture and return it to the heat until you can see foam on the top. When you can see the foam on top, take the "jezve" from the heat and hit it lightly with a spoon to make the foam go down. Reheat the coffee and tap the pot two more times, making sure to remove it from the heat each time the foam forms. Before you serve the coffee, give everyone a small glass of fresh water to drink with their hot, thick coffee.
