HOW TURKS NAKR COLL.
Il ISn't So Easy, But the Product
Il Delightful.

IL Delightful.
To make the perfect cup of Turk.
ish coffee is like many other
things very easy when the maker
knows how to do it, but unless the
art has been learned in Turkey the
art is difficult, says the Boston
Globe.
No one can make a perfect cup
of coffee unless he has been to Tur.
key. 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 hOrseiesh and the best
English beef. The tt IS 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 a
larger one. When the water has
boiled they fill the little pot al
most with water, then put in three
Jumps of sugar and put the pot on
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 thoroughly
mixed with the water.
The next step is to place the pot
on the fire again and watch it very
carefully until the coffee bubbles
up to a froth, and before this froth
escapes from the side you take the
pot from the fire and tap the bot
tom 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 repeated three
times.
When the froth rises to the sur.
face 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 an
other, so that each cup contains g
portion of the frOth on the top.
The Englishman cannot make
coffee at all. He tries hard, bur
never succeeds either in making {
perfect cup Of Turkish or Frencl
coffee. The Frenchman, on tn,
other hand, also tries hard to max.
a perfect cup of Turkish coffee
but he meets with little more sue
Gees than the Englishman.
One thing must never be forgot
ten. The coffee must be freshl
! roasted and ground. 1t must no
be roasted too black, a dark brow.
4 is the ideal color, Then the Aavo
r is divine.
