Preparation

Fill in the Turkish water - about 3/4 of the volume. Bring to a boil. We shift the Turk and lay the coffee with a spoon. An approximate calculation: 1 small spoon "with a slide" on a standard small coffee cup + 1 additional spoon for the total volume. If you want, you can add sugar. We shift the Turk to the fire and wait until the foam rises. Then we remove the Turk from the fire and knock off the foam by stirring, after which we put the Turk in the bottom in a container with cold water - it is important that the bottom is in the cold - the temperature difference will ensure a rapid and correct precipitation. We bring a few drops of cold water from a spoon to a Turk. After 2-3 minutes we pour coffee into cups and serve.
