Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a cezve or small saucepan, combine 3 tbsp finely ground Turkish coffee, 1 cup cold water, 1/2 tsp ground cardamom, and 1 tsp sugar if desired. Stir gently to combine but do not dissolve completely.
  2. Step 2: Place the cezve over low heat and slowly bring the mixture to a foam just before boiling, about 3-4 minutes, watching carefully so it does not boil over.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 tsp rose water and 1/4 tsp orange blossom water to infuse delicate floral notes.
  4. Step 4: Return to low heat and allow to heat gently again until foam rises.
  5. Step 5: Pour the coffee slowly into small demitasse cups, allowing grounds to settle. Garnish each cup with a pinch of 1 tsp ground pistachios for texture and aroma. Serve immediately for the richest flavor.
