The World's First Coffee Pot

The ibrik was originally designed to brew coffee in hot sand in the desert, but a stove top will do fine. First fill the ibrik 2/3 full with water, add sugar to taste (if you like your Turkish coffee sweet) and top it with a heaping teaspoon of finely ground coffee. The coffee seals the narrow top creating an oven effect. As the water begins to boil it will foam up through the coffee. Let it foam up three times. Stir. Pour slowly into two small demitasse cups and it's ready for savoring. Pay attention to the foaming. It is the skill part of the process. If you don't your ibrik will become volcanic and deposit your Turkish coffee on your stove....what a loss and what a mess.
