Menengiç coffee prepared with water is a traditional drink from southeastern Turkey, made by roasting and grinding the fruit of the terebinth tree, a relative of the pistachio. It contains no coffee beans and is naturally caffeine-free. Made with water rather than milk, it has a lighter, thinner body while keeping its distinctive roasted, nutty aroma.
It is usually served hot as a regional coffee alternative, often after a meal or during a relaxed coffee break; a small sweet pairs well with its earthy flavour. For a fuller taste, simmer the mixture gently and adjust the amount to suit your preference. It is a modest-energy hot drink, with about 18 calories per 100 g, and can be enjoyed without added sugar.
