- Hello! My name is Melek and this is a small passion project I am pursuing whilst on annual leave from my job as an academic. I would like to use this platform to honour the important women in my life- my mother and mother-in-law, sisters, aunts, cousins and friends- by breathing life into their recipes that have nourished me at some point in my life. While some of these recipes are unique to them, most were passed down from their mothers who in turn inherited them from their mothers and so on.
It is this intergenerational transfer of recipes and their ability to travel across time and connect us with our elders that enchants me most about family recipes. And in sharing these recipes with you, my hope is that their reach will extend into your family home and nourish you too.

Recipe for Making Turkish Tea
Ingredients:
-4 tablespoons Turkish tea blend (I like to combine 1 tablespoon of Earl Grey tea leaves with 3 tablespoons of Turkish tea blend)
-Water
Necessary equipment:
-2-piece teapot OR stove top kettle and porcelain pot
-Strainer
Method:
-Add your tea blend to the smaller pot, rinse for a few seconds with water and cover lid
-Fill larger pot with water and put on the stove with the smaller pot placed on top and let the water come to a boil
- Transfer some of the boiling water from the larger pot to the small pot
- Refill the large pot with more water and return to the stove to let it come to a boil once more
- Reduce the heat to low and let the tea simmer for a further 15 minutes or until the tea leaves in the small pot have sunk to the bottom
- Pour 3/4 of cup with the brewed tea and 1/4 of cup with the boiling water
- Loveliest when served in a traditional Turkish tea cup and saucer
Thank you!! My husband is Turkish and I've never found clear instructions on how to use the tea kettle. Finally I will be able to make it confidently when my in-laws come over.
Inlaws? 😁 You might want to buy a Samovar for that dear. The idea is the same only you got more hot water to pour into the teapot, add more tea leaves and return it back onto the simmering water in the kettle. That’s how tea serving is handled in eastern world Cafés. DO NOT add cool water to the kettle unless you want to serve more tea later or because not much was left to create steam for brewing. Brewing time takes between 12 to 15 minutes only. Cool water will kill steam resulting in longer time till full brew was reached.
Why not ask your Turkish husband how to make Turkish tea
Why not just ask your husband
Turkish tea , is the absolute best I’ve ever tasted.
My double teapot just arrived in Australia from Turkey.
I am so excited to use it.
It is very colourful and ornate.
I’m just a Jewish girl who is very enchanted with all things Turkish!
Thanks for the instruction on how to make Turkish tea.
:)
How exciting for you! Enjoy breaking in your lovely new tea set 😁
I’m a Spanish woman enchanted by Turkish tea, food and people !!!😍❤️🌹
Sweetheart, you don’t need to refill the bottom kettle unless you want to serve more for later or you have more people to serve tea for otherwise just lower heat to low and return the top teapot back onto the kettle and brew the tea for 12 - 15 minutes. Steam would still reach the bottom of the top teapot. So no worries .. as you don’t have got to wait for almost an hour just to have a cup of tea, darling. Hugs to you for you been doing this for ages. 💐
I'm from Turkey and love Turkish tea but never knew how to make it. Thank you for this video, mine is currently stewing ♥️
Thank you so much for the nice & informative instruction. We also make tea exactly the same in Iran. Your video explains it step-by-step clearly. Cheers!
Thank you very much for the easy instructions.
Very Lovely way to teach, thank you
Very informative and clear. Love it! ❤️
You made it easy Peezy thank you so much, finally someone did it
Thank you for sharing this easy to follow instructions. Great video. 👍😁👍
Thanks so much 😊
I've never had Turkish tea but I like this process, I'm going to copy it and try it with some of the tea leaves I already use and see how it goes. thank you for sharing!
I watch this correct and very amazing way of preparation while sipping Turkish tea given by my sister
Thanks for the tutorial. I love your kitchen.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for making this video!!! I just bought a double teapot and Turkish tea and I can now make it right because of your video!
Lovely! ❤ We do it slightly different, but the main difference is I suppose that Mom and Dad told me to always wait about 15-20 seconds after the water has boiled, before having either come in contact with each other.
The idea is that you don't boil your precious tea leaves that way :)
Enjoy!
When using mulched leaves, they said, wait until it all sinks. That way you know its completely soaked up as much water as it can.
They say you're too early if it's still floating 😊
Not applicable here, but passing it on :)
In hindsight, I suppose both ways of preparing (yours and theirs) must have a similar effect, given that you add boiling water to warm water, surrounding the tea leaves, which is essentially protecting the tea leaves from giving off a bitter taste. Interesting.
I wonder what effect it will have. Habits are hard to break, I'll probably keep with my habits, but I really appreciate yours!
Love it 😍
Also thanks for the recipe
Thank yoy nice video ..
That was really benefited video thanks 😌 🙏
I love your videos so much 💕💕
I love the double kettle teapot. Never knew it was from Turkey.
Thank you for this. 9.9/10. I would have said 10/10 but the background music was truly annoying. We visited Turkey a few years back and I brought tea home. The pots fascinated me. That and the ceremony of making and serving tea.
Hello and thank you for the beautiful video ! Could you link your tea cups and saucers along with your tea pot?
Hello Mrs. Melek, I bought a Turkish Teapot,...and I am going to make Turkish Tea , thanks for your tutorial.
How lovely- enjoy your new tea pot!
I used to drink a lot of tea when visiting my Turkish neighbours, they moved out years ago so I guess I have to try to make it myself for once.
Thank you for the amazing recipe!! Would you be able to specify on the Turkish tea brand you like?
I share the same love for Earl Grey 😂.
Doğuş earl grey is amazing. We don't get it here in Dubai. So I pick up everytime I am in Turkey or order online which costs about 4 times 😂 but tea is important 🙂
Thanks for the tip on Doğuş Earl Grey, will give it a try. And yes, tea is totally important 😁
Omg I wanna try it so bad Im a tea lover
Like the procedure.
Tea-rriffic ☕
Thank you I'm from Pakistan 🇵🇰 I love Turkey 🇹🇷 and Turkey people
Earl Grey gets its aroma from bergamot, a citrus fruit grown in Sicily.
I live in the United States. What would be the brand of Turkish tea that you would recommend. There are some international markets in my county but I could also buy my tea through Amazon. I am looking for a recommendation please. I really enjoyed your video! Very easy to understand and follow. I can’t wait to make my own tea
Thank You very much :)
Hi! I live in Adelaide. It is hard to find Turkish Tea. Can you please tell me the brand you use or similar one and if is available in Australia and where I can order or get in shop.
Beautiful baby....
Very interesting and inspiring sister. In fact, I have just purchased the *Çaykur Rize Turist Çayı* (as I'm a beginner), which brings me to my question:
When opening the packet... is it necessary to remove the small dust/dirt-like pieces with a strainer and washing the remaining loose tea before brewing them (or before you put them in a container)?
Or are we allowed to use the tea straight from the packet? 🤔
Because different people tell me different things, which has left me so confused. 😭
So I would REALLY appreciate your response. Thank you. 🙏🏼 ❤
I’ve been brewing tea since I was 10 and I don’t strain it, I just brew the tea right out of the container. My family’s from the region tea is grown so I don’t doubt my tea brewing skills!
Selamlar çayı yıkamadan demleyin lütfen.çayin tadını bozarsınız.
Where do they sell whole-leaf tea from Turkey? I see that you have it. I can only find the ground Caykur stuff.
Thank you! Nice and clear 👌 You made it easy. Would an electric one be better?
I m from Turkey 🇹🇷🙋♂️
I m from India , want to drink Turkish tea ☕❤️👍
I m from Turkey 🇹🇷🇹🇷🙋♂️
@@okanasmr2579 do you love tea ?
@@pratikshakashyap6702 Yess I love Turkish tea
@@okanasmr2579 Indian tea is also test good? Have you ever drink that?
@@pratikshakashyap6702 I did not drink Indian tea but I love India and Indian tea soo much 🇹🇷🇹🇷❤❤🇮🇳🇮🇳
Wait a minute after the water boils. Do not pour boiling water on Turkish tea leaves. Then keep the heat very low in the bottom pot.
Hey Mel, I am from Melbourne, where can I purchase the double teapot, please?
Hi there! You’re likely to find a double teapot at most Turkish grocers but a couple that come to mind are Kahvecioglu Grand Foods in Campbellfield and Tek Foods in Somerton. Good luck 😉
@@ghostsofrecipespast6276 Thank you so much, I will give it a go, cheers
What type of coffee to use espresso or Americano coffee?
What tea brand do you use sorry?
Do you add sugar at any stage? Or is it preferred without sugar?
I personally prefer it with sugar 🙂
Hey, can i use any Arley grey tea or could you recommend one,
Thanks
I like to use TWG Earl Grey Gentleman tea leaves (as seen in the video) if I’m feeling particularly indulgent, but oftentimes I just use Twinings Earl Grey tea bags (just one bag will suffice) 🙂
@@ghostsofrecipespast6276 thank you, i will try than as im not getting the aroma in my tea.
Thanks
@@ghostsofrecipespast6276 you used early grey loose pink box
Hey Mel, what's your thoughts on Çaykur?
Hi Murat :) I've tried a couple by Caykur and liked the Altinbas blend in particular- cheers!
@@ghostsofrecipespast6276not c it's ç
U don't rinse the tea leaves with tap water. That's not how Turkish tea is prepared .
is there any different if we just boil the tea and drink? and you dont put sugar in the tea?
Çayı kaynatırsanız bütün malzeme çöp olur.kaynamaması gerekiyor.sadece suyu kaynatıcaksınız.
can someone send me a link to get black tea leaf
Please let me know why I cant simply put the tea leaves in boiling water, leave it and then drink?.
i also want to ask the same question...would it be different in taste?
No, but it will not have the same benefits
Why add Earl grey to Turkish tea leaves? It is not necessary to mix, flavors, you temper with the authenticity of the Turkish tea.
Aren't you washing away a good portion of the tea's caffeine when you wash the leaves? Are you using cold water to do that? If so I suppose it wouldn't take as much away as hot. But, of course you know what you are doing, and I am just some guy on the internet haha. Listen to me trying to comment on Turkish tea made by an actual Turkish lady. My apologies
I really wanna try turkish tea but I live in southern california and don't have the equipment or where to find it!😭😭 😂😂😂
Sweety, it's easy just get two Teapots, one small and the second large, and put the small on top of the big one. That's it sweety....
I live in California too and I believe you can find a Turkish market near you if you search online. We go to the one in Burlingame but that’s probably too far for you. I’d suggest looking online for a store.
It's a shame they don't insert a strainer on the inside of the small kettle.
I agree!
Your accent is amazing 😍 I live in the UK and your English is better than turks we have over here
Hi, is it safe for pregnant women? Thank you.
Hi there- Turkish tea does contain caffeine and some varieties are stronger than others so it might be best to discuss with you doctor or midwife 🙂
So the leaves have to be WASHED first w cold water, leave and sort of semi wet cooked in the top kettle, then once water boiles, fill up the top kettle w boiked water and makenit simmer for more time....hummmm that is some long time to process tea....
hello thanks early grey where to buy send amazon links ...
Yes of course- below is the link to the TWG Earl Grey tea I use in the video:
www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0757RK6TY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_B6XAHYTS2KFJ3QP8SB15
If you’re looking for one that is more reasonably priced then try the following:
www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01M27UZKP/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_CC61YDKWCFW866E0ATPY
I can’t seem to find the loose leaf version of the latter but the Twinings teabags are just as good as their loose leaf counterparts; just add a couple of teabags and you’re good to go 🙂
Lovely lady, spooky channel name. Don't those metal pot handles get hot?
😂 i suppose it is a little spooky though that was never my intention 😁
As for the handles, this particular set has heatproof handles
Are you Turkish?
Türkçe altyazılı olsaydı daha güzel olurdu
Are u turkish?
يابه شني السالفه ٤٥ دقيقه يلا تكمليم الجاي ؟
That’s not a tablespoon…. That’s just a spoon.
You are soooo cute

Keşke ne dediğini de bilseydik
Half an hour for a cup of tea??????
In reality it takes less time
I'm pretty sure I couldn't drink it completely unsweetened.
Nor I 🙂
@@ghostsofrecipespast6276 Ahh. A little honey perhaps. Lovely video, thank you, I'll check out your others.
Wow just buy a modern tea pot with a strainer in it... who's going to wait 45minutes for a cup of tea in the year 2024?
That tea should not take more than 10 minutes to make , just boil some water in a pot, pour over tea, let it steep for 2 -5 minutes, and the tea is ready
45 mins just to make tea????
Muuuuuaaaa😊🎉 with you marry me muuuuuuuuuaa love from my heart 💗 but i leaving very far ❤️🇮🇳
this is not turkish tea
Quite a dumb way to make tea. Usable only if you want to really make tons of tea with very few leaves. And the washing and storage for that ugly utensil is nightmare.
Its not dumb you just didnt try and hating on it
Stupid IMO....boil the H2O and pour it just in one pot, add cream and and sugar and enjoy!!! All done in 15 minutes....
Tap water 🤢
This is too much work
Ur so wired
You dont know how to make tea at all your water is gassy and cloudy
