Frequently Asked Questions About Mint Turkish Coffee
What is in Mint Turkish Coffee?
Mint Turkish Coffee is made with finely ground coffee, water, and fresh mint; sugar is optional. The coffee is brewed unfiltered in a small pot, so the grounds settle in the cup rather than being poured through a filter.
How do you make Mint Turkish Coffee?
Combine finely ground coffee, cold water, and fresh mint in a cezve, then heat gently until the coffee rises and foams. Pour it carefully into small cups without bringing it to a vigorous boil.
Does Mint Turkish Coffee have caffeine?
Yes. Mint Turkish Coffee contains caffeine from the coffee, and adding mint does not remove it. Using decaffeinated coffee is an option if you want the mint flavor with less caffeine.
How does Mint Turkish Coffee taste compared with regular Turkish coffee?
Mint Turkish Coffee has the familiar rich, roasted taste of Turkish coffee with a fresh, herbal aroma. Mint adds a cooling impression, but it does not make the drink taste like mint tea.
Can you make Mint Turkish Coffee with dried mint?
Yes, dried mint can be used in Mint Turkish Coffee, though its flavor is often more concentrated and less fresh-tasting. Start with a small pinch; dried leaves may remain in the unfiltered coffee and add to the sediment.
Is Mint Turkish Coffee usually sweetened?
Mint Turkish Coffee can be served unsweetened or sweetened to taste; sugar is not required. If adding sugar, stir it into the coffee and water before heating so it dissolves as the coffee brews.
Can you drink Mint Turkish Coffee after a meal?
Yes, Mint Turkish Coffee is often enjoyed after a meal, as Turkish coffee commonly is. Its mint aroma makes a refreshing finish, but the caffeine may affect people who are sensitive to it.
Can you drink Mint Turkish Coffee during pregnancy?
Mint Turkish Coffee still contains caffeine during pregnancy, even though it includes mint. Because recommended caffeine limits depend on your circumstances and other sources of caffeine, ask your healthcare professional how much is appropriate for you.
Do you drink the grounds in Mint Turkish Coffee?
No, you generally do not drink the grounds in Mint Turkish Coffee. Let them settle at the bottom of the cup and leave the last sip behind; the fine grounds are part of the unfiltered brewing method.
Can you make Mint Turkish Coffee without a cezve?
Yes, you can make Mint Turkish Coffee in a small saucepan if you do not have a cezve. Heat it gently and watch closely as it foams, since the narrow shape of a cezve makes rising coffee easier to control.

What is Mint Turkish Coffee?
Mint Turkish Coffee brings fresh mint to the finely ground coffee and water traditionally brewed in a cezve. The grounds settle in the cup rather than being filtered out, while mint lends the drink a cool, herbal fragrance alongside coffee’s deep, roasted aroma. Sugar is optional, so the flavour can be enjoyed plain or sweetened to taste.
In Turkey, it is served in a small cup, often after a meal or when welcoming guests, with a glass of water and sometimes a piece of Turkish delight. Sip it slowly and leave the grounds at the bottom. Prepared without much added sugar, it is a light drink; use a few mint leaves for a gentle note, or add more for a fresher, more pronounced flavour.
