Turkish Coffee

Turkish coffee is not just a drink; it is a ceremony. Finely ground beans are simmered with water and sugar in a copper pot (*cezve*) until a thick foam rises. It is served unfiltered, allowing the grounds to settle at the bottom—a feature that enables the ancient art of fortune-telling (*tasseography*).

At a Glance

•Sugar must be added during brewing, never after, as the foam prevents stirring.
