Iced Turkish coffee recipe

Now, I know what you’re thinking – Turkish coffee is traditionally enjoyed hot. But let me tell you, making it iced takes this beverage to a whole new level. 

The rich and bold flavors of Turkish coffee combined with the coolness of milk create a truly delightful experience for your taste buds.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

  • Finely ground Turkish coffee (about 1 heaping tablespoon per cup)
  • Cold water (2-3 oz per serving)
  • Sugar (optional, to taste)
  • Milk (3-4 oz per serving)
  • Ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional for decoration)

Iced Turkish coffee recipe:

  • Start by adding 2-3 oz of cold water to your coffee pot. This is the amount for one serving. 
  • Next, add the finely ground Turkish coffee. 1 heaping tablespoon of coffee per cup of water is a good rule of thumb. I like to add a little bit more to keep the strong flavor of coffee when it mixes with milk.
  • If you have a sweet tooth, now is the time to add sugar to taste. You can skip this step if you prefer it unsweetened.
  • Give everything a good stir to ensure the coffee and sugar (if using) are well combined with the water.
  • Place the coffee pot on the stove over medium heat. Slowly bring the coffee mixture to a gentle boil. This should be done in 2-3 minutes. Be sure to keep a close eye on it – you don’t want it to boil over!
  • After the foam starts to rise, remove it from the heat and let it sit for a minute.
  • While your coffee is resting, it’s time to prepare your glass. Fill it with ice cubes and milk. Make sure you have space in the glass for your coffee. 
  • Carefully pour the hot Turkish coffee over the ice cubes in your glass. You will immediately notice the contrast between the hot coffee and the milk.
  • If you have whipped cream, add it to the top for decoration and more sweaters.
  • Finally, it is time to grab a straw or a long spoon and take your first sip of this delicious creation.

FAQ

Can I use water instead of milk?

I wouldn’t recommend using water instead of milk. Water will dilute the flavors and might not provide the creamy and rich texture that you are looking for.

What milks are best to use?

When it comes to choosing the best milk for your iced Turkish coffee, it ultimately depends on your personal preference and dietary restrictions.
