This cooking method does not require special equipment – just a Turkish stove, a stove, freshly ground coffee and water. We will tell you how to make it correctly so that the drink turns out smooth, strong and aromatic, and the morning is cheerful.
To experience the magic of the morning, try making coffee with cardamom. The main thing is not to overdo it: the spice should complement the coffee, not drown it out. Cardamom – a traditional coffee additive in the Middle East. It emphasizes the aroma, softens the bitterness and makes the taste warmer and deeper.

- 1–2 tsp. freshly ground coffee, very finely ground
- Cardamom – 1 small pinch (or 1 seed, slightly crushed)
- Sugar – optional
How to cook
— Pour cold water into the Turk and add coffee with cardamom (if you use a grain, lightly crush it with a knife to release the aroma).
– Stir and add sugar if desired.
– Place on low heat and heat slowly.
– When a thick foam rises, remove the Turk from the stove without bringing it to an active boil.
– If desired, repeat the short warm-up one more time. Pour into cups and let the grounds settle. add a drop of ice water.
Cardamom contains essential oils that open when gently heated and mix with the aromatic oils of coffee. As a result, the drink turns out to be more rounded in taste, with a light citrus-spicy note.
Turkish coffee with cardamom is good for a leisurely breakfast or a break during the day. It invigorates, but due to the spice it is perceived softer than the classic version.
