Ottoman Hospitality
From the court of the Ottoman Sultan, this culture comes to us in the preparation of coffee in a unique and special style, it is one of the main symbols of Ottoman culture, which is traditionally used to offer the Turkish jug “Rakwa” with a small cup often hand-decorated, with a glass of water and turkish halloumi dessert. And the style of hospitality was hiding a lot of meanings behind him, so if the guest starts drinking water without coffee, this is an indication to the owner of the house that The guest is hungry and prefers to have a meal before siping his coffee, and the dessert of the solution to balance the flavor of coffee if the guest wants it sweetened, it was not only a method of preparation but a culture of hospitality.
The method of preparing this type of coffee simply starts with the coffee chickpea medium to relatively dark depending on the type of coffee and then mix the ground coffee beans completely fine with water and sugar as desired and make them boil in the Turkish jug “Rakwa” until it reaches a certain stage where a layer on the face of the jug tends to golden brown color, and then served in small cups with turkish milk candy and water.
Suggested recipe:
For each cup with a capacity of approximately 120 ml matched by 7 grams of finely ground coffee, we mix half the amount of water to boil with coffee and sugar as desired in the knee, then put it on a medium flame and add the rest of the water and leave it for a minute to two minutes until the golden brown layer is formed and start to rise rapidly, remove the knee at this moment and leave it for a minute until the heat of the coffee calms down and then pour it into the cup smoothly and presented.
