Turkish Coffee: Real Turkish coffee involves a traditional ritual. A strong pot of finely ground coffee; cool, filtered water; and sugar (optional) are boiled on the stovetop in a cezve, a long-necked pot (made of copper or brass) with a slender handle. The mixture bubbles and brews until the powder settles to the bottom of the pot. Then, the foamy coffee is portioned out in small cups for guests to enjoy alongside sweets and good conversation.
