We have three degrees of Turkish coffee according to the sweetness of it which is less sweet where we use only 1 tablespoon of sugar or medium-sweet which we use only 2 tablespoons of sugar and extra sweet where we use 3 tablespoons of sugar. You can also make it without sugar in case you don't like the use of any sugar in it.

After adding sugar, we add the coffee where we use 2 heaped teaspoons of Turkish coffee for each cup. After adding coffee and sugar into your water you must stir them together before putting them on the heat.

After stirring it put it over the medium heat. And remember the heat must be always on the medium. After a few minutes, you will see the tiny bubbles start forming on the surface of your coffee.
