Ingredients
- 4 tsp Turkish black tea leaves or strong Ceylon tea
- 4 cups water filtered, divided
- 1 tsp sugar optional, for serving
Notes
Turkish tea is traditionally served in small tulip-shaped glasses to showcase its deep amber color. For authentic flavor, use a çaydanlık (double teapot). Store leftover concentrated tea in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently. For a stronger brew, increase the steeping time or use more tea leaves.
