Spiced Turkish Coffee image

This Spiced Turkish coffee recipe varies from tradition with an assortment of warming spices but isn't totally uncommon in Turkey. Especially enjoyed by the younger 20 something set. Often enjoyed with a piece of Turkish Delight.

1 - whole clove, or 1/16 teaspoon ground clove
1/2 - stick cinnamon
