Türk Kahvesi Nasıl Yapılır?
Turkish coffee is made by using fine ground
powder. You pour it directly into the cup without a filter paper. It is
customary to serve coffee with a lot of foam. For instance, when the family of
a possible groom goes to visit a bride’s family for an arranged marriage, the
girl must absolutely serve coffee during the ceremony. And if it is very foamy,
the girl is considered fit for marriage by the groom’s side.
