We all have our favourite way to drink coffee. It may be a flat white, espresso, or cappuccino, but if that's all you ever have you're missing out on a world of coffee experiences. So maybe, once-in-a-while, branch out and make (or order) something a little different. If you're a latte drinker, then try a long black or espresso now and again, or vice versa! And if you really want to experience something different, and a little exotic, make yourself a Turkish brew.
Hope this helps keep coffee exciting and special. Dom
What you'll need
- Fresh coffee beans
- Turkish ibrik coffee pot
- Hand grinder (or machine)
- Sugar
- Two espresso cups
How to brew it
- Grind the coffee as fine as possible. To achieve this, adjust your hand mill grinder to make the blades touch, then screw back one click.
- Add the coffee to your Ibrik brewer.
- The Measurement guide is 1 teaspoon of ground coffee per cup.
- Add sugar, one teaspoon is generally enough for the whole pot.
- Add cold water to the Ibrik.
- Ratio equals one demitasse cup of water (70ml) to one teaspoon of ground coffee.
- Place the Ibrik on the stove, and stir.
- Medium heat is recommended (this will not burn the coffee). Ensure that you monitor the coffee through the entire heating process.
- As the Ibrik heats you will notice a film appear on the top of the coffee. When the level of coffee rises to the top, remove from the stove.
- Allow the coffee to cool for about 30 seconds.Then place your Ibrik back on the stove until it begins to rise again.
- When the level of coffee rises to the top again, remove from the stove.
- Before pouring, wait about 30 seconds to allow sediment to settle.
- Share the coffee evenly between the cups and enjoy.
