To brew a an excellent cup of coffee using an
ibrik, follow these steps:
Fill up the ibrik with cold water until
it's approximately 2/3 full.
For sweetened coffee, add a sweetener
like sugar into the ibrik.
Add the appropriate amount of ground
coffee. It is recommended that you see more coffee than needed,
as it would add to the thickness of the foam. The coffee will
then form a cap over the water.
Heat the ibrik and watch, as the
boiling water will bubble up through the coffee grounds.
Remove the ibrik from heat when the
water begins to foam up.
Allow the coffee to settle and bring it
back to the heat source.
Repeat the last two steps until the
coffee has foamed up three times.
Stir and serve the drink into either a
demitasse (Greek for a half-cup) or an espresso cup.
