How to brew delicious coffee?
Let's look at the basic rules for preparing delicacies in Turk. This method has been known for a very long time; it is considered the best way for the grains to reveal all their taste qualities.
- The main condition is gradual slow heating of the liquid with ground grains in the Turk. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the temperature regime is observed: too high will lead to rupture of the top layer - the foam. Strong fire is the enemy in creating a flavorful drink.
- For good taste, it is recommended to use only purified “soft” water. It also should not be brought to a strong boil.
- It is better to choose a fine grind and grind the grains immediately before brewing.
- Another condition for a good drink is the proportional ratio of coffee and water. An excess of grains can affect the taste, and the finished drink will be bitter.
- To make the drink more aromatic, experts put a pinch of salt on the bottom of the Turk - the grains reveal the aroma better. Don't be afraid of the salty taste; with a small portion of salt it won't be there.
- Serving is also an important stage in creating a drink. Before pouring the mixture, the cups need to be warmed up, so the delicacy will retain its taste characteristics longer.
- To avoid spoiling the impression of the grounds, pour a teaspoon of cold, pure water into the Turk, or hit the cezve on the edge of the table.
You can prepare a truly delicious treat at home. You just have to follow all the rules!
