Traditional Turkish coffee slowly brewed over low heat and topped with a thick layer of foam. Served as part of a centuries-old tradition, this richly flavored coffee is a symbol of hospitality and conversation.
Measure the cold water into the coffee pot. Add the coffee and sugar, if using. Stir for a few seconds before placing it over low heat.
Set the coffee pot over low heat and warm slowly without stirring. When foam starts to form on the surface, spoon it into the cups. Do not let the coffee boil; remove it from the heat just before it boils over.
Return the coffee pot to the heat and remove it as soon as the coffee rises. Slowly pour the coffee into the cups without disturbing the foam. Wait a few minutes for the grounds to settle, then serve.
A foamy cup depends on brewing over low heat without bringing the coffee to a boil; boiling makes the foam disappear. Traditionally, the foam is divided among the cups first. Serve with a glass of water and, if desired, Turkish delight.
