Instructions

Combine the cold water, extra-fine Turkish coffee, and granulated sugar in a cezve (Turkish coffee pot).
Place the cezve over low heat and slowly bring to a simmer without stirring.
When foam begins to form and just before boiling, remove from heat to avoid overflow.
Pour the coffee gently into a small cup, allowing grounds to settle at the bottom, and serve immediately.

Tips

Use a cezve or small pot for authentic preparation. Do not stir once heating begins to preserve foam and flavor.
