Turkish tea

Turkish tea is a type of tea that is very popular in Turkey. It is made from tea leaves that come from the Camellia sinensis plant, which is grown in different parts of the world. When making Turkish tea, people use a special tea pot called a "çaydanlık" (chai-dan-lick), which is made up of two stacked pots. The bottom pot is where water is boiled, while the top pot is where the tea is brewed.

First, water is boiled in the bottom pot. Then, some of the hot water is poured into the top pot, where tea leaves are placed. The tea is left to brew for a few minutes, and then more hot water is added to the top pot to dilute the tea. The tea is then poured through a small strainer into a tea glass.

When serving Turkish tea, people often add sugar to the glass before pouring the tea. Additionally, it is common to serve small cups of water alongside the tea to cleanse the palate between sips.

Turkish tea is not only a popular beverage, but it is also an important part of Turkish culture. It is often served as a sign of hospitality to guests and is a staple at social gatherings. Turkish tea is also enjoyed with a variety of traditional Turkish desserts, such as baklava or Turkish delight.
