  • 2 tablespoons powdered cocoa mix
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 ounces skim milk

TURKISH COFFEE


I love the cardamom flavor with the coffee. I used Splenda in place of sugar. It was a great change from the same old coffee. I'll make this again.

INGREDIENTS

  1. 1 cup water
  2. 1 tablespoon of extra fine ground coffee (powder consistency)
  3. 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cardamom or 1 cardamom pod
  4. sugar (optional)


DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring water and sugar to a boil in ibrik.
  2. If you do not have an ibrik, a small saucepan will work.
  3. Remove from heat, add coffee and cardamom.
  4. Return saucepan to heat and allow to come to a boil.
  5. Remove from heat when coffee foams.
  6. Again, return to heat, allowing to foam and remove from heat.
  7. Pour into cup, and allow to sit for a few minutes for the grounds to settle to the bottom of the cup.
  8. Cardamom pod may be served in cup for added flavor.


TURKISH COFFEE TIPS:
Many people have made note that the coffee did not foam the second boiling. Sorry about that. Maybe if, when you pour the coffee into the cup, you do it from up high. I think I read that somewhere.
Turkish coffee must always be served with foam on top.
If you can't find finely ground Arabic coffee, you can purchase a bag of coffee at any coffeehouse and ask them to grind it for Turkish coffee. You need to have a powder-like consistency.
Do not stir after pouring into cups; the foam will collapse.
Always use cold water.

Viennexican Coffee


I created this coffee drink out of a craving for a little kick to my coffee. Based on my love of hot chai, I began to feel that North Americans have a distinct lack of health-giving herbs and spices in our native cuisine. Hopefully a delicious hot cup of Viennexican can assist. Thinking of the spiciness of Viennese coffees and of the chocolate and fruit flavors of South American beverages, I believe the combination makes a beautiful result for the taste buds and the system as a whole!

  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
