To make the perfect cup of Turkish

easy when the maker knows how to
do it, but unless the art has been learn
ed in Turkey it is difficult
No one can make 4 perfect cup of

There is as much difference between
the ordinary cup Of coffee and the
exquisite and alluring beverage with
all it's subtle aroma as made by the
artist as there is between horseflesh

method is simple. They have many
little pots Of various sizes. If they
want to make two cups only they use
the smaller one, and if three cups
larger one. When the water has boiled
they fill the little pot almost 70 the top
with water, then put in three Jumps
of sugar and put the pot Oh the fire to
boil. When it is hot they put in two
teaspOonfuls of coffee ground very fine
and then stir it round until it is thor
oughly mixed with the water.
The next step is to place the pot on
the fire again and watch it very care
fully until the coffee bubbles up to
froth, and before this froth escapes
over the side you take the pot from the
fire and tap the bottom gently on the
stove till the froth goes down. Once
again the coffee is allowed to bubble
over the fire, and the process of tap
ping the pot on the stove is repeated
three times.
When the froth rises to the surface
for the fourth time the pot should De
taken from the fire and the coffee
should be poured first into one cup and
then into another. so that each cup
contains a portion of the froth on the
top.
