Tea and cakes in tiny tea shops in old Istanbul
tea and cakes
One of the things I liked in Istanbul, was in the old part, down very narrow streets, tiny tea shops with the most delicious cakes.
Best with a friend, then you can sample more of the cakes and share.
The tea is red, served in a glass, and sweetened. I would not usually drink tea with sugar, but when I tried without, I found it to be very bitter.
What the tea is, I do not know. I asked, but the communication gap was too wide to be bridged.
The cakes, I do not know what they were either, other than they were delicious.
