Instructions

Measure cold water into your cezve or small saucepan.
Add coffee + sugar + spices—resist stirring more than a few times.
Heat on medium‑low, watching closely for foam to rise (2–5 minutes).
When foam nears the rim, remove and spoon it into each cup.
Return to heat briefly, then pour the rest slowly to preserve foam.
Wait a minute, sip water first, then enjoy the coffee—grounds and all.
