Recipe: Turkish-Style Mocha

Serves 4 to 6

¾ cup ground dark roast coffee

1 tablespoon ground cardamom

6 cups water

2 cups whole milk or half-and-half

½ cup granulated sugar (see Kitchen Note)

½ cup chocolate syrup

1. Combine coffee and cardamom in a coffee filter. Brew coffee in a coffeemaker with 6 cups water.

2. Meanwhile heat milk or half-and-half, sugar and chocolate syrup in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Stir until milk is hot and the sugar has melted. Stir in brewed coffee, pour into cups and serve immediately.

Times Kitchen Note: This version of Turkish coffee is very sweet. You can reduce the sugar to ¼ or 1/3 cup, or according to taste.
