Turkish coffee is known all over the world. It is distinguished from analogues in other countries by two recognizable moments: the method of preparation and the method of serving.
The official history of Turkish coffee dates back to the 16th century, when the drink began to be served in coffee houses in Istanbul. Very soon, such establishments became cultural centers, where men gathered to spend the evening chatting, discussing the latest news and art, playing backgammon.
The invigorating drink played such an important role in the cultural and social life of society that the sultan's wives and concubines in the harem were sure to take a course on the correct preparation of coffee. Women of a lower rank were also mastering this art with might and main - the tastier a girl made coffee, the more chances she had for successfully marrying.
Echoes of this tradition have survived to this day: when the groom's parents come to the bride's parents' house to ask for her hand in marriage, the girl must personally make coffee for the guests.
Classic Turkish coffee recipe
Real Turkish coffee is prepared in copper cezve (another name is Turk). Roasted grains are ground as fine as possible, literally into dust.
Ingredients:
ground coffee - 25 g;
water -150 ml;
sugar to taste;
cardamom to taste.
Preparation:
Pour coffee into a Turk, pour cold water, immediately add sugar and cardamom to taste. Mix.
Over low heat, almost bring the mixture to a boil.
As soon as foam appears, remove the cezve from the heat, pour some foam into a cup and let the drink cool slightly (20-30 seconds), then put the vessel back on the stove. Repeat the procedure 2 times. At the last heating, leave the coffee in the Turk for 2 minutes and only then pour into a cup. Do not stir!
Thanks to this method of preparation, Turkish coffee is always thick, aromatic and rich. A cup with a drink is always crowned with a foam cap, and a sediment remains at the bottom.
Turkish coffee is served in small cups, often with a glass of clean water. It is not necessary to have a snack, but you can put Turkish delight or other oriental sweets on the table.

coffee beans and so called basket shells [probably Corbicula fluminea] ... these are tiny freshwater bivalve I found on the shore of Lake Constance in May 2022. They are about the size of a fingernail (at max) and the stripes are of the colour of strong coffee ☕ ... I haven't tried yet how they taste with my coffee though ; ))

Kaffeebohnen und sogenannte Körbchenmuscheln [wahrscheinlich Corbicula fluminea] ... das sind winzige Süßwassermuscheln, die ich im Mai 2022 am Ufer des Bodensees gefunden habe. Sie sind etwa so groß wie ein Fingernagel (maximal) und die Streifen haben die Farbe von starkem Kaffee ☕ ... Ich habe allerdings noch nicht ausprobiert, wie sie mit meinem Kaffee schmecken ; ))

Love this quote ; )))
(and no, I don't throw things at anyone - at least most of the time, lol)
Crazy Tuesday - theme of August 10, 2021: Choose one Colour
As I missed the theme 'My favourite drink' due to wandering about in the Allgäu Alps the colour for this theme had to be coffee brown - glad I found my old brown (and sturdy) Italian coffee cup at the very back of the cabinet : ))
when it is a coffee bean, one is not enough to create a drink but just enough to have a bite. Bean at the bottom of white cup, Minimalist shot for Crazy Tuesday.
There is nothing better than a fresh brewed Espresso and a good book...

Routines, habits, rituals and traditions... a natural progression.
We seem to need rituals and traditions, they give us a sense of control even when we face uncertainty.
And usually we create rituals around the things that we value or like, the things we are willing to prioritize and spend time and energy.
I think we need that "break" from real life.. and we need the meaning a ritual brings... even if it's just the making of a morning coffee. 😉

Did you know the coffee bean is a seed, and you can grow a tree from the unprocessed bean?
