Brew the Turkish coffee. For each cup, start with 1 tablespoon of very finely ground Mocha coffee, 3 ounces of cold water, and 1 teaspoon of sugar (more or less, depending on desired sweetness). Put them in an ibrik, a traditional Turkish coffee pot made of brass, with a long handle and narrower top than bottom. Cook over medium-low heat until the liquid boils and froths up. Remove from the heat and stir until the froth settles. Heat, froth, remove from heat [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and stir again.Pour the Turkish coffee. Repeat once more [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pouring the coffee into demitasses (small coffee cups) while it is still frothing [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shaking the pot while pouring to ensure some froth pours into each cup.Drink the Turkish coffee. Encourage guests to sip and savor the coffee slowly, draining their cups until they reach the very thick grounds at the bottom.Invert the Turkish coffee cups. Demonstrating for guests, quickly invert a cup into its saucer with a turn of the wrist, taking special care while doing so not to fling the grounds at anyone. Encourage guests to turn their cups over in the same way. Leave the inverted cups for about 5 minutes to allow the grounds to drip down the insides and dry slightly.Read the fortunes in the Turkish coffee grounds. One by one, ask each guest to turn his or her cup back right side up. As a group, study the patterns made by the grounds inside each person’s cup, interpreting them with imagination to predict a fortune. Some examples: wavelike ripples predict a journey overseas or a beach vacation; jagged peaks and valley may mean tumultuous emotions; a shapely profile may foretell new romance; and so on. Be creative!
