Greek Coffee (Ellinikos Kafes) Recipe

1. 1

   Using one of your demitasse cups as a 2-ounce measure, fill the briki with as many cups of cold water as cups of coffee you want to make.

2. 2

   Add 1 heaping teaspoon of coffee grounds for each 2-ounce cup of coffee.

3. 3

   Add granulated sugar, if desired: 1 teaspoon per demitasse cup for medium-sweet ( or ), add 3 teaspoons sugar and 2 teaspoons coffee grounds per 2 ounces of water.

4. 4

   Heat over medium heat and stir just to incorporate the grounds and sugar.

5. 5

   As the coffee heats, foam will rise.

6. 6

   Be sure to hold onto the handle of the briki to keep it from falling over.

7. 7

   When the foam nearly reaches the top, remove the briki from the heat and let it stand until the grounds have settled a bit, about 1 minute.

8. 8

   Pour a little foam into each cup, then fill each cup, moving the briki up and down to help settle the grounds.

9. 9

   Serve with a cold glass of water.
