Stages of adding spices to coffee when brewing in a Turk

When grinding

If you plan to grind your coffee 1-2 times and want spicy coffee, you can add your favorite spices directly during grinding.

Pros. You don’t need a lot of spices, since the fine-fraction substances that are obtained in a coffee grinder are extracted faster and impart better aroma and taste. And you won’t have to fish out a piece of ginger or a peppercorn from the finished drink either.

Minuses. Firstly, there is a big risk that the spices will overwhelm the taste of the coffee and the finished drink will be too spicy and bitter. Secondly, the coffee grinder must be washed after grinding so that spice particles do not remain inside and affect the smell and taste of the next portions.

When cooking

The most popular way to flavor coffee is by adding spices during the cooking process. Usually they are added along with ground coffee and sugar (if you prefer a sweet drink).

Spices in their entirety: a cinnamon stick, a box of cardamom, cloves, etc. are added to give a slight flavor and a beautiful appearance to the final drink (for example, cinnamon in a cup looks very impressive). But in order to get a more pronounced taste, it is better to grind the spices or crush them into small pieces - this way they are extracted faster.

Pros. You can control the taste and aroma by adding and subtracting spices without completing the cooking process.

Minuses. It is quite inconvenient to extract spices from coffee. Whole spices, not ground, are not sold in all stores (but you can always choose them in an online store).

In ready-made coffee

Most often, ground cinnamon is poured into a ready-made drink to taste, but you can do the same with ground nutmeg, cardamom, ginger and other spices.

Pros. It's very simple. You can buy ground spices or a special grinder with seasonings for coffee and mulled wine. If you are preparing a glass of ice or cappuccino based on Turkish coffee, ground spices will decorate the milky “cap” of the drink.

Minuses. In this case, the taste of the coffee itself will remain almost unchanged, only a pleasant spicy aroma will be added. Some spices (for example, black pepper) are not suitable for this method because of their overly pungent smell and taste.

Nutmeg and Cinnamon Coffee Recipe

This is a traditional way of preparing spicy espresso. You will need:

ground Arabica;
granulated sugar (optional);
nutmeg;
cinnamon stick.

First you need to prepare the coffee beans. They should be sorted, washed, dried and fried over a fire.

The concentration and color of the drink depend on the degree of roasting of the coffee beans. The longer you leave them on the stove, the more bitter the espresso will be.

When the raw materials for the cocktail are ready, pour it into the Turk. Add sugar to taste and spices. Fill everything with water. You need to boil the liquid well. The container is removed from the stove at the moment a brown fluffy foam forms on its top. As soon as the cream settles, return the Turk to the stove and repeat the action. This manipulation will help make the taste of the drink more rich. This recipe will prepare a spicy hot espresso in just 5-7 minutes.

To prevent coffee grounds from spoiling the ceremony, strain the hot product. It is recommended to let it sit for a couple of minutes before using it.

If desired, the top of the cup in which the drink is served can be decorated with whipped cream and grated chocolate.

For ease of use, it is best to strain the mixture through cheesecloth or a tea strainer before serving. After this, all you have to do is enjoy the unusual and refined taste of the prepared coffee.

With chocolate syrup

Spices are added to coffee for 2 reasons. Firstly, to impart a rich aroma, and secondly, to improve taste.

Nutmeg goes well with chocolate syrup, so it is recommended to combine these ingredients. In addition to them, you need to take sugar, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, mineral water and ground Arabica.

Cooking method:

First you need to fill the Turk with all the ingredients except chocolate syrup. If you wish, you can prepare it yourself. To do this, mix a spoonful of cocoa with granulated sugar, add a small amount of water to the mixture and place in a water bath for 5 minutes.
Fill the Turk with ground Arabica, cinnamon, sugar and nutmeg. Put it on fire. Remove from the stove when a creamy brown foam forms on top. As soon as it settles, return the container to the fire. Repeat the action twice.
Strain the mixture using a strainer. Without waiting for the drink to cool, pour the chocolate syrup into it.

You don’t have to pour the nutmeg into the Turk right away, but sprinkle it over the finished espresso. Whipped cream will complement the composition.

Cooking with yolk

Hot coffee with egg yolk is prepared in a specific way. To cook it you will need the following components:

granulated sugar (preferably brown);
mineral water;
ground robusta or arabica beans;
nutmeg;
yolk;
a little cinnamon;
heavy cream.

First you need to brew traditional espresso using any method. Nutmeg and coffee go well together, but to give the drink a more pronounced taste and aroma, it is also recommended to add a pinch of cinnamon.

The recipe includes the combination of 3 preparations. While the first one is brewing - espresso - take care of the other 2. The cream needs to be heated over a fire, but not brought to a boil. Whisk granulated sugar with egg yolk until fluffy foam appears.

Fill the glass with strong coffee, then milk and egg ingredients, sprinkle with cinnamon to taste. Mix the mixture well until it becomes homogeneous.

If you want to add oriental notes to the taste of a hot, invigorating drink, then Arabica beans need to be ground together with whole nuts.

Whatever recipe you follow, the main thing is to bring the liquid to a boil several times. During cooking, spices reveal their aromatic potential. You will be able to feel the pleasant aroma of this coffee within the first minutes of its preparation.
