over the sides 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
tapping the pot on the stove is re-
peated three times.
When the froth rises to the surface
for the fourth time the pot should be
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.
The Englishman cannot make coffee
at all He tries hard, but never sue
ceeds either in making a perfect cup
of Turkish or French coffee. The
Frenchman. on the other hand, also
tries hard to make perfect cup of
Turkish coffee. but he meets with little
more success than the Englishman.
One thing must never be forgotten.
The coffee must be freshly roasted and
ground. 1t must not be roasted too
black; a dark brown is the ideal color.
Then the flavor is divine.
