We have often seen videos of Turkish ice cream being served by vendors. But this time, Turkish coffee was what piqued the internet’s curiosity. Turkey has a coffee tradition dating back several centuries. Arabica beans are used in their ground form and added to water with some sugar. The entire preparation is done in a ‘cezve’ or special brewing vessel.

Usually, Turkish coffee is brewed on a low flame from a fire or a stove. In this video, however, the delicious and flavourful drink was prepared by using hot sand! Yes, you read that right. The vessel for preparing Turkish coffee or ‘cezve’ was filled with water and ground coffee. Then, the cezve was smoothly glided over the heated sand, resulting in a boiling effect on the water.

The 15-second video of the Turkish coffee being made went viral in no time. Shared by the popular page @fasc1nate, it has already received over 6.7 million views and 68k likes. People were quite surprised to see how the sand became so hot that it could boil the coffee! “I really want to try this as it looks so good. I love trying new teas & coffee,” wrote one user. “The line between science and magic is merely perspective!”

Take a look at the reactions:
