Coffee Preparation


  1. Measure cold water into cezve using coffee cups as measurement
  2. Add extra fine ground Turkish coffee and sugar, stir thoroughly
  3. Gently bruise mint leaves and add with cardamom to mixture
  4. Place cezve on lowest heat setting, stir occasionally until coffee dissolves
  5. Watch carefully as coffee heats - do not stir once heating begins
  6. When foam forms around edges, remove briefly to control temperature
  7. Return to heat, allow foam to rise 2-3 times without boiling
  8. Pour slowly into cups, ensuring foam distribution


Donut Preparation


  1. Mix flour and baking powder in bowl
  2. Whisk egg, milk, and rose water separately
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed
  4. Heat oil to 350°F in deep pan
  5. Form small rings with dough, fry until golden
  6. Drain and dust with powdered sugar while warm

Traditional Wisdom: Never let Turkish coffee boil - this destroys the precious foam that carries the coffee's soul. The mint should be added during grinding for deeper integration, but fresh leaves work for home preparation. Serve the coffee with a glass of cold water to cleanse the palate. The donuts represent the crescent moon, symbolizing new beginnings in Ottoman culture.
