Equipment

  • Briki

Ingredients
  

  • 1 packed tsp Greek coffee
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/2 tsp sugar, more to taste (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Stir all the ingredients in a briki.
  • Slowly bring to a boil - medium low heat.
  • Remove from heat, let the froth settle down for a few seconds, then bring back to a boil.
  • Repeat this 4 more times. All the foam that's being created is magical.
  • Carefully pour into a demitasse. If you're making more than 1 cup at a time, try to share the foam evenly. Don't pour the grinds into the cups.
  • Let cool for 3-4 minutes, this also lets the grounds settle to the bottom.

Notes

Make sure there's plenty of room in your briki to let the coffee foam up.
Do not try to multitask while you're making Greek coffee. Just like yours truly, it requires your full attention or it will make a mess in your kitchen.
