How To Make Turkish Tea & Breakfast _ Everything You Need To Know

Hi , everyone .

This is a welcome to Turkish food recipes .

In this episode , we are making Turkish tea .

We love tea so much .

We can drink any time of the day , but mostly it is must have for breakfast and after the dinner time it is easy to make but have some tips as any recipes .

I will share everything you want to know about it , including making your own double teapot and choosing the right class .

So let's get started .

The first thing you need to make a Turkish tea is tea pot which is set off .

21 is for the boiling water and the second smaller one is to making the tea as a second option .

If you have a ticket to like this , I bought this years ago when I was living in United States .

And if you have a smaller pot like this that fits to top , then you can go make your Turkish .

My water is boiling right now .

And the second ingredient is a good quality Turkish black tea leaves , which is grown in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey .

You can look for it on the internet or in the Turkish markets for two person , 1.5 , full tablespoon of tea leaves are enough .

Of course , it also changes .

Depends on how much glass of Turkish tea you want to drink .

So this is important .

I turn off the heat and wait for 10 seconds before I pour the water over the leaves because I don't want to burn them .

So slowly I add the water , it is about 2.5 cups .

I'm not going to fool the pot because I didn't eat that much tea leaves .

After you pour the water , put the lid on right away .

Add more water on the bigger pot .

Turn on the heat until the water is boiled on high and turn lower the heat until you have a stable simmering water .

And while the tea is breathing for 20 minutes , at least I have more than enough time to prepare my breakfast .

I made an episode about Turkish breakfast before you can watch it from the links .

But the presentations are endless .

So I want to show you another idea here .

This is my cheese plate from left to right .

I have soft white cheese and aged feta cheese .

A string cheese which we call and fresh cheese .

Black olives are must have in our breakfast on the back .

I have it is fresh cream that I got from the boiled and cooled fresh milk and together with homemade strawberry jam mixture , which is tahini and molasses .

Some unsalted butter and some cucumber and tomatoes .

So let's get back to the tea to serve our authentic Turkish tea .

You will need a Turkish tea glass .

This is also important because you can see the beautiful red color of your tea and decide how dark and rich you want to have .

And it is more enjoyable to have your tea with the slim basted and thin finished tea glass which we call since these glasses don't have a holder , we use these small tea plates .

There are many different patterns .

But my favorite one is this these traditional ones which you can see anywhere in tea houses in Turkey is almost ready .

Last minute preparations .

I heated some Burck which I hit from overnight and cooked simple fried egg in butter .

After about 25 minutes , I'm checking my tea .

The leaves should be sinked so it is done .

And now I can happily grab my fried egg and tea to have my breakfast .

If you are a tea enthusiast , your tea should be very hot .

So in cold times , I prefer to warm my glasses before I pour my tea .

And here is the happy ending .

You can have your tea lighter or stronger in taste and color by adding more or less tea and more water .

If you want light one , we call it a and for a stronger one , we call it in here .

The second one is a bit stronger than the first one .

Many Turkish people prefer their tea with sugar but I suggest first try it a bit lighter maybe but without sugar so you can get the taste better .

But of course , if you drink your coffee with sugar , then no one can hold you .

I'm very curious about if you ever tried Turkish tea , if you visit here in Turkey or maybe you tried it yourself .

And how was your experience ?
