Turkish Coffee

  • Turkish Coffee Wikipedia article.
    This article covers some of the history and basic method of making a Turkish or Greek coffee which involves:
    • Grinding the beans to fine powder (optionally with cardamom)
    • Stirring the grounds (with optional sugar) with cold water in a small pot called an ibrik,
    • Bringing the pot slowly to a near-boil temperature so that grounds settle and foam forms on the top.
    • Sipping the coffee from a small demitasse and tipping it over onto a saucer so that your fortune may be read by a young fisherman's grandmother.

    whats missing from the article is where the beans come from, how they are roasted and the fisherman's grandmother.
