Milky Kurdish coffee is commonly made with milk and roasted menengiç, the fruit of the terebinth tree, rather than ordinary coffee beans. Recipes and the form of menengiç used—such as a paste or powder—can vary by region and product.
A version made only from menengiç is naturally caffeine-free because menengiç is not a coffee bean. A packaged blend that includes regular coffee or another caffeinated ingredient may contain caffeine, so the recipe matters.
To make milky Kurdish coffee, mix the menengiç product with milk and warm it gently, stirring so it does not scorch or boil over. Follow the product’s directions if you are using a prepared paste or blend.
Milky Kurdish coffee is often a milk-based version of menengiç coffee, but the names are not used identically everywhere. Kurdish coffee recipes can vary, so the ingredients in a particular cup depend on the regional recipe or blend.
Milky Kurdish coffee is usually creamy and mild, with a roasted, nutty, earthy flavor from menengiç. Its richness and sweetness vary with the amount of milk, the menengiç product, and whether sugar is added.
Milky Kurdish coffee is commonly based on roasted menengiç and prepared with milk. Turkish coffee is made by brewing finely ground coffee beans with water, so the drinks differ in their main ingredient, flavor, and typically their caffeine content.
Milky Kurdish coffee is traditionally prepared and served hot. You can chill it, but cooling may change its texture, and the menengiç mixture may settle; stir it well before serving.
Yes, milky Kurdish coffee can be made without added sugar. Menengiç products differ in flavor, and some prepared blends may already contain sweeteners, so taste the drink or check the product details before adding more.
Yes, you can prepare milky Kurdish coffee with plant milk, though the flavor and creaminess will differ from a dairy version. Heat it gently with the menengiç product, since some plant milks separate or foam when boiled.
Refrigerate leftover milky Kurdish coffee in a covered container once it has cooled; do not leave a milk-based drink sitting out for a long time. Reheat it thoroughly before drinking, and stir because the menengiç can settle.

Milky Kurdish coffee is a milk-based version of Kurdish coffee, commonly made in this Turkish usage by simmering finely ground roasted chickpeas rather than coffee beans. Recipes vary by household and region. The roasted chickpeas give it a mellow, lightly nutty taste; milk makes the drink smooth and fuller-bodied than a clear brewed coffee. Serve it hot at breakfast or as an afternoon drink, with biscuits or a small sweet if you like. Milk contributes some protein, but this is still best thought of as a comforting beverage rather than a substantial meal. For a lighter cup, leave out added sugar or use less.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
