Turkish Coffee

For each person pour 1 demitasse cup of cold water into the pot and bring to boil. Add 1 heaped teaspoon castor sugar per person to water. Bring back to boiling point. Add 1 heaped dessertspoon per person finely pulverized coffee. This is obtainable from specialist coffee shops. Stir well. Bring the coffee to the boil three times, removing pot from heat between boilings and tapping the base gently until froth on top subsides. After the last boiling, remove from heat and spoon some of the creamy froth into each cup before pouring coffee very slowly out of the pot. Serve iced water in glasses as an accompaniment.
