Years ago, my cousin taught me the fine art of preparing the perfect cup of Turkish coffee. “One crucial note,” she said: “Never take your eye off the pot; it can foam over in a flash!” Once the coffee has been poured into the individual cups, the grounds settle to the bottom, and you only drink the thinner liquid on top. Turkish coffee is delicious after meals and traditionally offered to all visiting guests. You will find many ways to enjoy this deeply rich and aromatic beverage.
