Grind coffee: Grind as fine as possible so it resembles baby powder (finer than espresso) using a turkish brass mill or other coffee grinder on finest setting.
Add cold water: Use a fincan/demitasse cup to measure water and add to cezve/ibrik.
Add sugar: 1 heaping tsp for every 2 fincans of water. Stir to dissolve.
Add coffee: 1 heaping tsp for every 1 fincan of water. DO NOT STIR COFFEE.
Heat: Use medium-low heat, but do not let boil, it should only foam. If the coffee boils, then you didn't add enough coffee.
First up: Heat until foam reaches top and remove from heat to settle.
Second up: Heat until foam reaches top and remove from heat to settle.
Third up: Heat until foam reaches top and remove from heat to settle.
Serve: If you want foam in your cup, scoop foam into each cup and then pour coffee. If you don't want foam, discard it and pour coffee.
Warn: The grinds settle on the bottom, so warn guests not to drink the last sip. You'll know when you're getting close to the sludge.
sounds delicious!
