Turkish Tea

Turkish tea is a traditional beverage made by steeping black tea leaves in hot water, typically served in small, slender glasses. It's a cultural staple in Turkey, often enjoyed multiple times a day, accompanied by conversation or snacks. The preparation involves a double-tea setup: a larger pot (çaydanlık) with water boils, and a smaller, upper container holds concentrated tea, which is then diluted to individual preference. Turkish tea is usually strong, served without milk, and sweetened with sugar if desired. Its rich aroma and distinct flavor reflect Turkish hospitality and social customs.
