Turkish coffee
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This Turkish coffee recipe brings back memories of mornings when it was prepared slowly and deliberately, after getting up a little earlier than usual. When the aroma of this strong drink filled the entire house, the heart would fill with joy and anticipation of meeting its sharp, slightly bitter taste. You wouldn't drink this coffee from large mugs, but only slowly, from small coffee cups. It can be served this way.
