The recipe for coffee with cognac and spices

Kitchen appliances and utensils:classic Turk with a narrowed neck, a coffee grinder, a teaspoon with a long handle, coffee cups.

Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Take 2-3 tsp. coffee beans and fall asleep in a coffee grinder. The grinding should be as small as possible. It is very important. Then coffee will give you the maximum of your taste.
   
2. Pour ground coffee into the Turk at the rate of 1 - 1.5 tsp. per cup (depending on your preference).
   
3. Fill with cold water to the neck narrowing point (this is very important).
   
4. We put on the stove and start heating. Stir with a teaspoon with a long handle and cook over low heat.
   
5. Do not boil coffee! As soon as the head of the foam rises and reaches the edge of the Turks, coffee is ready. It is very important not to miss this magical moment.
   
6. Let us settle thicker and filter the coffee through a sieve.
   
7. At the bottom of the cup we put sugar (to taste), on the tip of a nutmeg knife, ¼ tsp. cinnamon. If you are not a big fan of cinnamon, you can replace it, for example, with cardamom. Pour coffee on top.
   
8. Pour some cognac.
   
9. Wash lemon, pour boiling water and cut into circles. Decorate the cup.

Cooking options

You can serve coffee in a different way. This will require tall glasses of thick glass.

• Sugar is poured into the glass (to taste), the prepared coffee is poured.
• Pour cognac gently to get a thin layer on the surface of the coffee. To do this, use a teaspoon with a long handle or a knife.
• Sprinkle cinnamon on top.
• We decorate the cups with notched lemon slices and a “snow” of whipped cream along the edge of the glass.
• To give your coffee a "twist", before decorating the glass, dip a half mug of lemon in ground coffee. Serve with the straws.

If you don’t want to bother with a Turk, you can also make delicious coffee using a French press, which is the European standard in the matter of making coffee. With it, you can adjust the temperature of the water, the amount of coffee that you are going to make.
