The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Having enjoyed a wonderful Turkish coffee in a Turkish restaurant in London I decided to make some myself. I bought the fine ground coffee and a cezve I made what turned out to be an unappetising mud! What's the secret of making Turkish Coffee?

That could be the problem, I mixed sugar afterwards and ended up with a mud of suspended grounds that would not settle.

You could also let grounds settle in the cezve and just be careful when pouring. Then you can add milk if you want. But that's not the turkish way, it's the east european way.
