A few days ago, I found all the paraphernalia for making and consuming Turkish Coffee hidden in our kitchen cupboards. Discovered: two specially designed pots (single serving and eight serving), miniature coffee cups, and fitted saucers. How Arabian. And delicious. Here's how we make it:
1. Grind five tablespoons of whole beans (thanks Cathy!) to a very fine powder.
2. Fill pot with four cups of water.
3. Bring to boil.
4. Remove from heat and stir in coffee grounds, 1/2 teaspoon cardimon, and five teaspoons sugar.
5. Return to heat and stir, remove from heat occasionally to prevent overflow.
6. Let stand for 4 minutes to allow grounds to settle.
7. Pour into turkish coffee cups
8. Drink over conversation or chess.

How interesting. Just one question:
On #5. How long do you cook after it comes to a boil and after you add the
ingred.??
One more question. How did you solve your kitchen counter/plastic problem?
Are you still alive?
