PIECE OF A WHOLE Turish Food Team presents “TURKISH TEA TIME RECIPES”
Turkish tea, called çay,(pronounced Chai) is black tea is produced on the eastern Black Sea coast, which has a mild climate with high precipitation and fertile soil. Turkish tea is typically prepared using two stacked kettles ( çaydanlık) specially designed for tea preparation. Water is brought to a boil in the larger lower kettle and then some of the water is used to fill the smaller kettle on top and steep several spoons of loose tea leaves, producing a very strong tea. When served, the remaining water is used to dilute the tea on an individual basis, giving each consumer the choice between strong ") or weak. Tea is drunk from small glasses to enjoy it hot in addition to showing its colour, with cubes of beet sugar. Turkish people like eating some homemade snacks in company with tea at teatime (or any time during the day). Here we present you some homemade Turkish snacks for large family meals or for your guests in important days 1
