Tip:

How to cook a delicious coffee

One of the main attributes of the Armenian coffee - foam. To achieve it, we take the Turk, as it is written above, and interfere with the coffee once, when the ingredients come together and filled with water. Then just wait. When brewed coffee, for preservation Transfer crema in a cup spoon and then gently pour it into a beverage.

Details

Boil should be slowly, ie including the smallest fire, or arrange with electric. Coffee in a fit of delay - it is not Armenian.

Coffee does not boil. If boiled, maybe he's Italian, Armenian, not boiling. Just kept going.

Coffee ready when the liquid on the walls of the Turks start to "climb" as milk blisters.

Stir. French chefs believe that coffee stir during cooking should be three times as much time and bring almost to a boil. That is to stir, when poured, and when warmed up before nearly boiled. When the edges of the foam began to rise, the coffee must be removed from the heat and do so three times. But oriental coffee stir once - as soon as put on the stove. But boil it did not have to.

Volume and how much water. Here it is necessary to find your ideal proportion and remember.

Because the density of coffee - the concept of the individual. Armenian and Turkish coffee is served in small cups for 50-70 ml and boiled thick (not only due to the small amount of liquid, but also due to the very finely ground), and in Europe and America make coffee too strong and served in large glasses.

It's best to rely on a mug or a Turk. For example, on polturki - spoon of coffee. Or your favorite cup - and a half. In the latter case, the accuracy of the water poured into the cup, and from there into pots.

Sugar. Delicious coffee just "fits" brown cane sugar. You can use refined sugar or sand. If you are adding to the beverage cubes, do not forget to stir, when the liquid is heated up to dissolve sugar well.

The Secret

If the house is not brown sugar instead of white, try adding honey. Keep in mind, it is sweeter than sugar, it is necessary to stir, when the coffee is a little hot. By the way, is also need to interfere, if you've added refined sugar, rather than sand. Pour the coffee is not up to the end - even if grounds will remain at the bottom of the Turks.

Turk rinse immediately and without detergents, maximum - wipe with a sponge.

Always say the word coffee in the masculine, and he would be offended and not cooked.

Additives

If you too want coffee with additives, take the nuts. But it is better buy walnut syrup.

Spices in a coffee - a single, big and interesting topic. In each they own.

The basic set of

How to cook a delicious coffee

Nutmeg. Adds aroma. You can add a pinch of up teaspoon ground nutmeg, and you can make coffee with half a walnut. Focus on the fact whether you like the smell.

Cardamom. A cup of coffee you need quite a bit of cardamom - on the tip of a knife. It is believed that it helps to lose weight and reduces the harmful effects of caffeine.

Cinnamon. Take the stick: it is convenient to plane knife or rub, they long retain aroma and flavor. And they are beautiful and can be used in other dishes.

Vanilla sugar. Easy to use, it is difficult to "pour", while it smells good on the whole kitchen. Of course, you can use leguminous vanilla.

Mint. mint bushes grow very well at home - in the pot. It grows throughout the year, and when it is cut, bushes harder. Coffee can mash a fresh leaf in his fingers. Alternatively zasushivat twigs with leaves: a couple of days to dry and then folded into a jar and prior to addition to the coffee or tea Mince (finger rub).

Honey. By the way of honey taste very much depends. As with cane sugar, it is included in the total bouquet not only sweet, but also all its shades. Very soft on the palate, and lime in May.

Red hot pepper. An amateur. However, if you add, it must be chili, paprika instead. It should be quite a bit - on the tip of a knife. And drink a coffee must be with food or after a meal - on an empty stomach it is not useful.
