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.

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.
