There may be nothing more iconic for Turkey than a cup of coffee, served in a tiny cup accompanied with a small glass of water and a cube of lokum.

We were in the heart of the historical peninsula, Eminönü. We wandered among the coffee smells of Eminönü streets and the flavors of the Spice Bazaar. We tasted real coffee and tried many different flavors of Turkish delight. We also learned how to make a real, authentic Turkish coffee.Join us on this delicious tour, as we discover whether this coffee is Turkish or Greek.

Turkish Coffee Recipe :
· 1 cup of water
· 1 teaspoon ground coffee
· up to 3 teaspoons of sugar, optional

Instructions:
1. Mix the coffee and sugar in the cezve, a small pot with a long handle, and bring the coffee to a boil on low heat. The coffee can be brought to a boil on high heat as well, but it is said that a slow increase in heat will better bring out the flavor of the beans. Carefully pour the coffee into a cup and serve.
2. The foam that builds on the coffee is sometimes taken off first into the cup with a spoon and after bringing the coffee to a second boil it is then poured. The sign of an impeccable cup of Turkish Coffee is the foam on top of it.
