Frequently Asked Questions About Turkish coffee with tahini
How do you make Turkish coffee with tahini?
Turkish coffee with tahini is made by combining finely ground Turkish coffee, water, and tahini before heating. Stir well so the tahini is evenly mixed, then warm it gently in a cezve and serve before it boils over. Stir again if the mixture starts to separate.
What does Turkish coffee with tahini taste like?
Turkish coffee with tahini tastes roasted and slightly bitter, with a rich, nutty sesame flavor and a creamier feel than plain Turkish coffee. Tahini does not make it sweet, so add sugar only if you want a sweeter cup.
Does tahini dissolve in Turkish coffee?
No, tahini does not fully dissolve in Turkish coffee; it is a sesame paste, so the drink can separate or leave a thicker layer at the bottom. Mix it thoroughly while preparing the coffee and stir the cup again before drinking.
Can you make Turkish coffee with tahini in a cezve?
Yes, a cezve works for Turkish coffee with tahini. Combine the ingredients and heat the mixture slowly, stirring to keep the tahini from clumping. Watch it closely as it approaches a boil, because the thicker mixture can rise quickly.
Is Turkish coffee with tahini traditionally Turkish?
Turkish coffee is a long-standing Turkish preparation, but adding tahini is a modern variation rather than a widely established regional tradition. It combines the familiar coffee-making method with tahini’s creamy, sesame-rich flavor.
Can you add sugar to Turkish coffee with tahini?
Yes, you can sweeten Turkish coffee with tahini. Add sugar while preparing it, as you would with Turkish coffee, because tahini itself is not sweet. The unsweetened version tastes more strongly of roasted coffee and sesame.
Why does Turkish coffee with tahini separate?
Turkish coffee with tahini can separate because tahini is a dense sesame paste that does not blend permanently into the liquid. Stir it thoroughly during preparation and just before drinking; a little settling is normal.
Can you use instant coffee to make Turkish coffee with tahini?
You can mix tahini with instant coffee, but the result is not Turkish coffee in the traditional sense. Turkish coffee is prepared with very finely ground coffee that remains in the cup, giving the drink its distinctive body and settled grounds.
Does Turkish coffee with tahini contain caffeine?
Yes, Turkish coffee with tahini contains caffeine from the coffee; tahini itself is caffeine-free. If caffeine affects your sleep, avoid drinking it close to bedtime or choose a decaffeinated coffee alternative.
Is Turkish coffee with tahini a good drink before a workout?
Turkish coffee with tahini can be a pre-workout drink if you tolerate caffeine, but the tahini makes it richer than plain coffee. Try it well before exercising rather than immediately beforehand, especially if a heavier drink upsets your stomach.

What is Turkish coffee with tahini?
Turkish coffee with tahini is a variation on Turkish coffee, made by combining finely ground coffee brewed in a cezve with tahini, a smooth sesame paste. The tahini brings a roasted, nutty note and a fuller, slightly richer mouthfeel; as with Turkish coffee, the grounds settle at the bottom of the cup.
In Turkey it is served in a small cup, often with a glass of water, after a meal or during a coffee break. A sweet such as Turkish delight can accompany it, though the drink can be enjoyed on its own. Tahini makes it more substantial and contributes most of its fat, so use a little less if you prefer a lighter cup while keeping the coffee’s flavour in the lead.
