How to brew the most delicious coffee in Turk?

People who like to sleep longer in the morning usually don’t know how to make real coffee in Turk. It is much more convenient to pour ground powder of an incomprehensible composition into a coffee maker, throw soluble granules into a glass, or put capsules into a coffee machine. While you wash and comb your hair, the morning drink will be ready. Do you want to enjoy a great invigorating drink? Then you have to get up about half an hour earlier - the cezve (Turk) requires constant attention. But a cup of aromatic delicious coffee will so invigorate you that an early awakening will be immediately forgotten.

Which Turk is better?

To make coffee, one aroma of which will make you forget about all your daily worries, you need to use a suitable Turk. Cezve material should have good thermal conductivity, copper is considered the best option. A thick bottom will help to make heating slow, during which time the coffee will have time to release all the flavoring and aromatic substances into the liquid. Do not chase a large size: the most delicious drink is obtained if you prepare each cup separately.

You can brew coffee with a thick, delicious foam only in a vessel whose bottom is several times wider than the neck. Using a Turk of this form, be careful: the mass bubbles very quickly, rises up and can run out. In Turkey, on the contrary, wide-top cezves are appreciated, with this form of thick foam, more is obtained.

On sale there are many models of Turks with an electric heating system. They are convenient to operate, but true connoisseurs do not really like them. In order for a drink to open its entire bouquet, it must be heated from natural heat, best of all from hot sand, but it can also be cooked on a gas stove. If you have an induction furnace in your apartment, there is no other option - you will have to buy an electrical appliance.

What components are required for a delicious coffee?

To brew coffee in a Turk on a stove, you only need water and powder, which you put into a cezve. You can pour liquid into the vessel with rust, bleach and other chemical components from the tap. Do not be surprised if breakfast disappoints you: a mouth-watering drink cannot be made from bad ingredients. Therefore, take care of the morning meal in advance: prepare spring, rain or melt water or purchase drinking water in the store.

If you want to inhale tropical aromas, and then enjoy a cup of a delicious drink, grind the grains immediately before cooking. If you choose the right product, the morning breakfast will turn into a real meditation, fumigated by the aromas of the East. The fresher the grain, the tastier the prepared beverage will be. Look at the packaging for the roast date. If more than 3 months have passed since this day, refuse the purchase: all the essential oils have already disappeared.

The degree of frying depends on your preference. If you want to drink “soft” coffee, buy slightly roasted grains. If you like a strong drink with a velvety flavor and a small bitterness, look for the so-called “French” or “Arabian” roast. Much depends on the country where the coffee trees grew. Raw materials for a strong tart beverage are exported from African countries or Brazil. If you want to enjoy a soft, soft drink with milk or cream, choose a product grown in Central America, Colombia, and India.

Rules for making a tasty drink

Coffee came to us from tropical countries, where locals do not put up with haste. If you want to enjoy a full bouquet of taste and aroma - take your time. The Bedouins of Africa make coffee in the hot desert sand for almost a day.It is impossible to carry out such a lengthy process for a city dweller, but try to slow down the heating as much as possible. As soon as you notice that bubbles have appeared on the surface, remove the Turk from the fire. Then you can bring the drink to a boil several times, with each heating, the taste becomes richer and more velvety, and the foam acquires a pleasant density for the mouth.

Please note that the finer the grinding of the grains, the more fully the taste and aroma of the invigorating product will be revealed. Inexperienced lovers of strong coffee often fill the powder with Turku almost half. The result is not a tasty drink, but a bitter liquid, which is unpleasant to drink. To fully experience the natural taste of aromatic coffee, do not violate the proportions of the components, it is better to choose a different recipe and the appropriate variety.

Water and ground coffee are indispensable ingredients for making an invigorating drink, but you can enhance the palatability with other ingredients. A pinch of salt or a slice of refined sugar placed on the bottom of the cezve will more fully reveal the entire bouquet of the drink. Cinnamon, cardamom, honey and other spices complement it with barely noticeable taste and aromatic shades.

Tip

Do not pour coffee into cold cups, with this method the aroma of the drink quickly disappears. Preheat the dishes to fully appreciate the taste and aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
