- 1.5 tablespoon finely ground coffee
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- 1
In a small cezve or saucepan, combine 0.5 cup cold water, 1.5 tbsp finely ground coffee, and 1 tsp sugar (adjust to taste). Do not stir after this point.
- 2
Place the cezve over low heat. Heat gently until the coffee begins to foam and rise, about 3-4 minutes. Watch closely—the foam should form but not boil over.
- 3
Remove from heat just before it boils over. Spoon a little foam into each demitasse cup, then pour the remaining coffee gently into the cups, grounds and all.
- 4
Let the coffee sit for 1 minute to allow the grounds to settle. Serve immediately with a glass of water on the side.
