What is Turkish coffee (with sweetener)?
Turkish coffee (with sweetener) is made by simmering very finely ground coffee with water in a small pot, traditionally called a cezve, and using a sweetener instead of sugar. It is poured unfiltered, often with its foam shared between the cups; the grounds settle at the bottom and are left behind. The sweetener changes the sweetness, while the distinctive brewing method and bold coffee flavour remain.
Served in a small cup, it is usually sipped slowly, often alongside a glass of water. In Turkey, it is a familiar choice after a meal or when welcoming guests, and it can also be enjoyed wherever you would normally have a strong coffee. It is low in calories compared with sugar-sweetened coffee, but still contains caffeine. For a simple, lighter pairing, serve it with water rather than a sweet treat.

Frequently Asked Questions About Turkish coffee (with sweetener)
How do you make Turkish coffee with sweetener?
Combine finely ground coffee, cold water and a heat-stable sweetener in a cezve, then warm it slowly over low heat. Pour it into a small cup as the foam rises, before the coffee boils over.
Can you add sweetener to Turkish coffee before brewing?
Yes, you can usually add sweetener to Turkish coffee before heating it. Some sweeteners lose sweetness when heated, so check whether yours is heat-stable or stir it into the coffee after brewing.
Does Turkish coffee with sweetener contain caffeine?
Yes, Turkish coffee with sweetener still contains caffeine; sweetener does not remove the caffeine from the coffee. If caffeine affects your sleep or makes you feel jittery, avoid drinking it late in the day.
Why does Turkish coffee with sweetener have no foam?
Turkish coffee with sweetener may lose its foam if it is heated too quickly, stirred during brewing, or made with stale coffee. Use fresh, finely ground coffee, heat it gently, and pour as soon as the foam rises.
Do you drink the grounds in Turkish coffee?
No, you generally leave the grounds in the cup rather than drink them. Let them settle to the bottom as you sip, and stop before the last mouthful if you do not want grounds in your drink.
Can you make Turkish coffee with sweetener without a cezve?
Yes, you can make Turkish coffee with sweetener in a small saucepan if you do not have a cezve. Warm it gently and watch closely for rising foam; the wider pan may make a thick foam cap harder to achieve.
Does sweetener change the taste of Turkish coffee?
Yes, sweetener can change the taste of Turkish coffee, and different types may leave a distinct aftertaste. Add a small amount first, especially if you are used to sugar, and adjust it after tasting.
Can you drink Turkish coffee with sweetener on an empty stomach?
Yes, you can drink Turkish coffee with sweetener on an empty stomach, but its caffeine and coffee compounds may cause nausea, reflux, or jitters for some people. If that happens, have it with or after food.
Can you drink Turkish coffee with sweetener during a fast?
Turkish coffee with sweetener is not suitable during a fast that forbids all drinks or calories. Whether it fits an intermittent-fasting plan depends on that plan’s rules and the sweetener used; plain water is the simplest fasting drink.
Can you reheat Turkish coffee with sweetener?
Yes, you can reheat Turkish coffee with sweetener, but reheating usually weakens its aroma and foam. It tastes best freshly brewed; if you do reheat it, warm it gently and avoid leaving the prepared coffee out for long.
