Recipe Instructions:
3 cups (Turkish coffee cup-sized cups) cold filtered water
2 1/2 tablespoons ground Turkish coffee
Sugar, as desired
In a metal Turkish coffee pot (cezve), place the water, coffee, and sugar (if desired). (If one or more of the guests prefers no sugar, however, prepare and pour that cup first. After returning the coffee pot to the heat, begin the sugar additions to suit the remaining guests.)
Using a small spoon, stir briefly until just combined. Place the pot on the stovetop.
Over medium heat, slowly bring the coffee mixture to a boil, 3 to 4 minutes. Keep a close watch.
As the coffee warms, you will see a dark foam building up. When the mixture is close to coming to a boil, use a teaspoon to transfer some of the foam into each of your two Turkish coffee cups. Return the coffee pot to the stovetop.
As the coffee comes to a boil, pour half of the coffee into the cups over the foam.
Return the coffee pot to the stovetop and boil the remaining coffee for an additional 15 to 20 seconds. Pour the remaining coffee into the cups to the rim.
