yes
today's subject is Turkish coffee why
Turkish coffee because it's like
this amazing smelling little thing which
actually almost makes the world turn
after the oil
coffee is the most traded thing it came
from Yemen
and before from Africa to Ottoman Empire
and then it distributed to Europe and
then to the new world and et cetera et
cetera and
became this worldly traded incredible
thing
which lots of us cannot do without
Bahar is definitely one of them I'm
more of a tea person to tell you the
truth
and I want to tell you about Turkish tea
later on sometimes you might ask what's
the difference of Turkish coffee Refika
from other coffees today i'm going to
answer that then I'm going to teach you
how to make this traditional
incredibly tasty little angel of Turkish
coffee
then i want to make it in an easier way
and make it in
a different way for example what Bahar
does what I discovered and bahar has
been doing for years now and
her morning coffee and I want to make
this milky
great tasting coffee so three coffees
and a lot of stories if you're ready we
can start
[Music]
first question what's the difference of
Turkish coffee from
other coffees these are three coffees
this is filter coffee
which the granules are little bigger
like this if you can see it from my hand
better
the second one is espresso which is size
wise and style wise
closer to Turkish coffee is thinner
granules but still
it's like crunchy and it has to go
through a filter somehow
but what Turkish coffee is it's like
more powder like thing
like this it's very thin therefore it
doesn't need to be filtered so
you can cook it directly secondly you
can use it as an ingredient
directly which is also very nice so the
powder has a taste of its own as well
and actually before these two were
discovered this thin Turkish coffee was
made
and served almost 500 years ago
and actually in Turkish if you want to
take a breakfast you say
"kahvaltı" which is "kahve altı"
under coffee what you eat before you
have your first coffee
actually that's what kahvaltı is the
meal that you get
so that you can drink your coffee
anyways to make
traditional Turkish coffee you have
something called "cezve"
and you have a cup very much like the
espresso which is called
"fincan" and you need a pack of nice
coffee and
water yes
yes of
course now first Turkish coffee
is sold in small packs like this like
about 100 grams
and it's always fresh when pressure is
better so
always take it in small packs and like
use it little by little
and for each person i have one
like heap teaspoon of
coffee and for the cup we have these
beautiful cups
actually Galya Molinas a great person
bought them as a gift to me
and i think they're really really
beautiful for two people
two cups like this before we start
to put it on fire I mix it really well
and I turn on the heat smallest burner
of the stove now it's high at first and
then i'm going to turn it to a lower
heat
and i have to stir it well in every 20
to 25 seconds
i get in let it stir a bit
and then take it out what's
traditionally is very important is for
it to have a foam
on top so you shouldn't like stir it so
much that you ruined the foam
you should stir it time to time for the
coffee to really get paced out
traditionally in families like when i
was a small kid the youngest girl
gets to do the coffee and it's like her
responsibility for a very long time i
was the youngest
cousin of the cousins until the
grandchildren came
to power i was the person who had to
make the coffees
and huh for me so
my first relationship with cooking is
through this beautiful coffee
and when i'm mixing as you can see like
i mix it like this
some foam is stuck slow and surely
stirring and the foam goes back
in by the way i forgot to tell you if
you
want your coffee with sugar we have
something called
"sade" which is no sugar "az şekerli"
a little bit of sugar "orta" medium
and "şekerli" which is a lot of sugar
teaspoon half a teaspoon as you can see
the sides of the coffee starts to rise
not the middle but the sides and that's
the time you take it off
the heat and a little to
the pink one a little to the blue one
then it goes back to the heat
[Music]
it's coming we call it it's coming
and okay so
first now we start with the second one
which is the blue one
and then the pink one and finally
the third round is when the coffee rises
totally
rest and now we start with pink one
and as you can see there's a thick
foam and this is called "fil batmaz" what
does it mean
the elephant won't sink if elephant
steps on it because the foam is so thick
it won't sink and the traditional
Turkish coffee
is served again with small
glasses of water why because
first you clean your mouth before you
drink your coffee
so you get all the tastes and then at
the end as well
because if the granules come to your
mouth
you can also clean it with that and here
i have
cherry liquor Bahar made this last year
it's from Nursen Teyze's recipe and it's very
nice also some people like it with the
liquor
after you drink or finish your coffee
you can drink your liquor
also you can serve some Turkish delight
and one day we are going to do that as
well so
this is how it is and i want to show you
my grandfather's drinking
and this is very very
very important it's kind of rude in
Turkish tradition
but he knows his way and what it is is
the taste also comes from the smell so
what you do for some reasons just like
these two fingers
and
when you drink it like that you get the
air and all the taste of the coffee
distributes to the mouth and everywhere
and it's beautiful
and then if you want you can
and if you're drinking not Turkish
coffee but other coffee try this
mix what you drink with some air it's so
good
go to a friend have your coffee
and either small talk or make your big
talk
and the hardest thing is like you have
to fill your coffee as much as possible
like this
is to carry it to your guest without
spilling it
and if you look at it you'll definitely
spill it
i didn't spill it yet
this is how you give it a few minutes
later
how are your dogs are they fine thank
you very much for asking
how are your cats? they are all good.
we have peeing problems
five minutes later how is the weather
what else
fifteen minutes later will you tell me
my fortune
i'll be your fortune teller cookie
eventually
to know a bit more about your future
what you do
is when you finish your coffee you just
close the lid
like this hold it like this you shake it
and then you leave it
for it to cool down and while waiting
have a sip of yours
and like you should turn your cup
to yourself otherwise it's not well
bottom of the
cup it should be totally cold and now
it's quite hot so we take a bit of time
[Music]
at the end of the video you can find
Bahar's fortune
that was told by me you might say Refika
we like the Turkish coffee idea but we
cannot make this tradition
daily so i'm going to show you another
technique i have learned this technique
in İsrael
when we went there everyone was drinking
Turkish coffee and
they were just like pouring some coffee
and like just mixing it and calling it a
Turkish coffee
they said that around seven times a day
they drank this coffee
its tradition came from the Ottoman
times
and stayed there in Turkey no one
including me
knew about this and so i want to take
back that tradition
and for the ones who have an access to
Turkish coffee which is in many markets
all around the world
i want to show you how to make like
Nescafe like
granuled coffee and instant Turkish
coffee
the glass is quite bigger i put like
three teaspoons of coffee
and what i do i pour the water slowly
and first you're gonna have these light
brown bubbles
coming up i let it sit for about
40 seconds this is actually my tea glass
that we have designed
but i like making it in that because the
mouth part is smaller
the heat doesn't escape very fast but
just on the top
part where you have your first sip you
have an opening
which cools it so each time it comes to
your mouth it's cooler
then i start to mix it when i'm mixing
it i don't ruin the
foam then i count from inside like 100
99 98 97
here is the second version this is a
Turkish coffee that you make in a minute
it's like granuled coffee because it's
very small you don't need filtering
and because it's small the taste
distributes really fast and easily
and it's gorgeous smelling guys
maybe you're wondering what's the
difference of Turkish coffee in the
making
i want to give you that recipe later on
maybe this year
i want to take it to place where they
roast the coffee from scratch so
here's the second version i want to make
a third one which will be a cold coffee
heaped teaspoon of coffee and i'm
pouring
a bit of hot water and i mixed really
well let it sit for a while
and here i have some milk now we have
this good old
french press so what i'm going to do use
the french press for something else
so that we make our coffee the other way
so the milk around doubles in size
and what i'm going to do is mix the
coffee one final time
add some ice pour the milk
as you can see this foamy thing yeah
nice it's great huh
so Turkish coffee in a classical way
Turkish coffee
in a lazy way and Turkish coffee with
chips
you can add some molasses or honey if
you want it to be with sugar
and maybe a bit of cocoa to the milk as
well that might
create also niceness so that's it for
now if you like the video please press

the fortune of Bahar and you'll hear
