Prepare Turkish Coffee

  1. Grind coffee beans to powder-fine consistency
  2. Add cold water, coffee, Aleppo pepper, cardamom, and sugar to cezve
  3. Stir mixture thoroughly and place on low heat
  4. Heat slowly, stirring occasionally until foam begins to form
  5. Remove from heat when foam rises, let settle, repeat 2-3 times
  6. Allow coffee to cool completely (20 minutes)

Make Waffle Batter

  1. Whisk flour and baking powder in large bowl
  2. In separate bowl, beat eggs, add milk, melted butter, vanilla
  3. Strain cooled Turkish coffee to remove grounds, reserve 120ml
  4. Add strained coffee to wet ingredients
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed

Cook Waffles

  1. Preheat waffle iron to medium-high
  2. Pour batter into waffle iron, cook 3-4 minutes until golden
  3. Serve immediately with honey or Turkish delight

Traditional Technique: The key to authentic Turkish coffee is the slow heating process - never rush this step as it develops the characteristic foam and flavor.

Spice Balance: Aleppo pepper provides warmth without overwhelming heat. Start with less and adjust to taste.

Coffee Straining: Use a fine mesh strainer or traditional Turkish coffee cup technique to remove all grounds before adding to batter.

Waffle Texture: The coffee will create a slightly denser waffle - this is intentional and mimics traditional Turkish coffee's body.
