how to prepare Turkish Tea :-)

In Turkey,there are about 200 000 small tea growers in East Black Sea Region of Turkey.They pick green tea three flush in a year from May to October in hilly lands of East Black Sea Region.
To prepare the tea a teapot and a kettle are needed:
Both parts in Turkish mean çaydanlık.Also you need tea glasses (çay bardağı)
1.Measure one tea-spoonful tea for each cup and one for teapot (put more tea for better brew).
2.Pour boiled water into the teapot from the kettle.
3.Reduce the fire under the kettle.The brew in the teapot mustn't be boiled but the water must be hot in the kettle.
4.Brewing time must be 10-15 minutes.

afiyet olsun ! bon appetite !
