• To make the Turkish black tea
like the Turks do, you will need a tea set with a kettle
and a teapot.
• Fill the kettle with water
and place it on the stove.
• Measure one tea-spoonful Turkish
black tea for each cup and one for teapot (put more tea
for better brew.)
• Put the tea in the teapot and
place it over the kettle. Please note that there is no water
in the small kettle at this time.
• Bring the water to a boil.
Add a portion of the boiling water (1/3rd) to the small
kettle at this time.
• Lower the heat and let it simmer
for 15 minutes for the tea to cook to the right consistency.
• Using Turkish tea cups, serve
the brewed tea by pouring about 1/3rd from the top teapot
and filling the rest with hot water. This ratio totally
depends on your taste and can be adjusted. Use sugar to
taste.
