Türk Çayı Nasıl Yapılır?
The Black Sea region in northern Turkey is
one of the top producers of tea in the world.
Starting with breakfast people drink tea
all day in Turkey. The Turkish word for tea is “çay”, which is pronounced “chaay“.
You need two kettles to make Turkish tea. The top kettle is for making dark
tea, and the bottom kettle is for pouring hot water in a small special tea
glass in order to dilute the dark tea. Tea leaves are put in the boiling water
in the top kettle and then left to steep. After pouring a little dark tea in
the glass, you can pour as much hot water as you wish to adjust according to
your taste.
