Turkish Coffee

For some reason, it's been kind of a coffee week on the blog. So I thought I'd round out the week and show how to make one of my favourite caffeinated beverages, Turkish coffee. After trying Türk kahvesi for the first time on my recent trip to Istanbul, it has become my new morning staple. Besides the fact that I reminisce about my trip every time I sip it, I absolutely love the rich, sweet flavour, and find that it doesn't give me the jitters that espresso or drip coffee can give me. Plus, it's so easy, fast, and comes in a nice, small portion.

Istanbul logos



Three logos that I particularly loved around the streets Istanbul: the official seal, the metro and the logo for European Capital of Culture.

These gems were found stacked in an used bookstore in Istanbul. Each one put me back $4 TL (which is less than $3 CDN!) Heavenly!
