Life
gets busy day by day and time passes so fast. However, despite all that we have
going on, making time for your family and your mother should be one priority
that we shouldn’t put off. While it’s usually very easy to keep rescheduling
and finding other things to do instead, postponing mother-daughter (or mother-son :)) time should definitely not become your
norm. Having a cup of Turkish Coffee can maximize the time that two of you
share together.
Turkish
Coffee is a real symbol of abiding relationship and Turkish Coffee is not only a drink but also a ritual. There
is an old Turkish saying that a cup of coffee commits one to forty years of
friendship. This shows how much Turkish coffee is liked among people.
You can also
have fun with your mother by reading your or her future from the coffee
grounds. This is very popular here in Turkey and sometimes you may be surprised
by the things told by somebody who has no info about you. "Don't believe
in fortune telling but don't be left without fortune telling." is one of
the favorite statements!!! Just check the internet, you can find many sources
for reading your fortune from coffee grounds.
So
you should visit your mother on mother’s
days with Turkish Coffee Set (Cup and Saucer) and a package of Turkish Coffee and have a beautiful
day with your mother. That would be an experience that neither one of you will
ever forget.
How
can you prepare your Turkish Coffee, you can see the details in the following;
Ingredients for 2
10 gram (3-4 full teaspoons)
finely ground Turkish coffee
5 gram (2 full teaspoons) sugar, you can also make it without sugar or with
less sugar
2 Turkish coffe cups of cold water
Method
The correct utensil to use is a copper coffee pot with a long
handle and no lid, but you can of course use a small saucepan.
Put all the ingredients in the coffee pot or saucepan and start heating slowly,
stirring, until the mixture looks frothy and starts boiling. Be carefull, just after
it starts boiling you must remove it from the heat and fill the cups until they
are half full. After that put the coffee pot back to the heat and boil again.
This time it will be less frothy and you can boil it a little longer. After the
second boiling you can fill the cups and serve.
