2 tablespoons
Water
1 cup
Almond extract
1/2 teaspoon
Sugar
1-2 teaspoons (to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, combine the ground Turkish coffee, water, almond extract, and sugar.
  2. Stir well to blend the ingredients thoroughly before placing the pot over medium heat.

  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a minute to allow the coffee grounds to settle at the bottom.

  8. Serve hot and enjoy the aromatic experience!

  • 💡 Experiment with different sweeteners like honey or agave syrup for a unique twist.
