Coffee is a drink that has been known since ancient times and is suitable for any occasion. It can be drunk in the morning and in the evening, served for dinner and prepared for any event, even important negotiations. In a Turk, this drink is brewed for several minutes, but so that coffee does not lose its unique taste and aroma, you need to know a few secrets.
To enjoy this wonderful drink, you need to choose the right water. It should not be boiled or hard, but clean and cold so that the coffee is tasty and no scale forms in the Turk. The degree of grinding of the grains is also important: for the classic version, the smallest is chosen, because it is he who forms a thick foam in the neck of the dishes and allows you not to lose the aroma of the drink.
Regardless of the recipe chosen, you need to remember that the coffee must not boil. It is removed from the fire a few seconds before, otherwise the drink will lose all its qualities. And they pour it into warm, not cold cups. To do this, they are rinsed with boiling water.
According to the classic recipe, the Turks first warm up the bottom, then pour coffee and pour cold water at the rate of 1 tsp. 70 ml, put on fire. During cooking, the drink should never be stirred, and as soon as the foam begins to rise, remove the Turk from the heat.
Optionally, you can add a pinch of salt to fully develop the aroma of the coffee. In this case, the drink will not turn out salty, a pleasant aftertaste will appear.
This cooking option is similar to the classic one, but you need to know when to add sugar. This can be done at the very beginning: warm up the Turk, and then pour sugar into it and heat it so that it caramelizes and turns brown. Then add coffee and water, put it back on the fire and cook until foam appears.
You can cook in a different way. First, pour coffee into a Turk and pour cold water, and add sugar a few seconds before boiling.
