Turkish tea party

Of course, any Turkish dish will be a real treat for food fans. Most of all, this is felt in Turkish desserts. It is impossible to imagine Turkish tea drinking without delicious. Basically, desserts are prepared with the addition of fruits and berries. After all, Türkiye is a country of figs, cherries and citrus fruits.

For tea, fruits are served fresh or dried. Marmalade, preserves or jams are also prepared from them. The most famous Turkish dessert in the world is Turkish delight, although there are other exquisite oriental sweets that are prepared in Turkey.

For example, the famous baklava, which is plentifully poured with sweet syrup and generously filled with pistachios.

Turkey is located in Europe, so the collection of national sweets also includes some sweet dishes borrowed from the cuisines of other European countries. For example, pudding, which in Turkish is called "muhallebi". This dessert is made with milk, rice flour, lemon, chicken breast and starch.

Unusual taste can surprise lokma. The mind-blowing dessert is easy to prepare, for example, balls of yeast dough are fried in boiling oil, and then they are quickly taken out and literally “drowned” in syrup. Guests can be offered halva and marzipan as a dessert.

Due to the popularity of Turkish coffee, there is a misconception that Turkish people only drink coffee. When visiting Turkey, one can immediately notice that Turks prefer tea more. Tea, both in restaurants and in homes, is served in thin cups. Turks do not brew tea, but brew it according to a special recipe. In many institutions, tea drinking during working hours is officially allowed. The symbol of Istanbul is the peddlers who constantly run around with a tray filled with tea cups. In Turkey, they drink mainly black tea with sugar.
