Cilveli Kahve (Flirtatious Coffee)

Cilveli Kahve (or Flirtatious Coffee in English) is a historical and special type of Turkish coffee. It is generally prepared in Western Part of Turkey, especially in Manisa province.
Actually, Cilveli is almost same with a regular Turkish coffee. But, what Cilveli Kahve makes different than regular one is its special topping. The coffee is brewed just like a normal Turkish coffee. Then, the coffee cup is topped with almond that is double roasted and ground. Also, two local spices added into the almond to enrich the aroma and flavour.
