What is Turkish delight?

Turkish delight, called lokum in Turkey, is a soft, chewy sweet cut into small cubes and dusted with sugar. It is made from sugar and starch and is often flavoured with nuts such as hazelnut or pistachio, or with rose and fruit flavours. In Turkey it is served with a small cup of Turkish coffee or a glass of tea, and a box of lokum is a traditional gift for guests, holidays and family visits.

How to serve it

Put a few pieces on a small plate next to hot Turkish tea or coffee, so the sweetness balances the bitterness of the drink. Lokum also goes well with a plate of dried fruit and nuts. Keep the box closed in a cool, dry place so the pieces stay soft. Our Turkish tea and coffee and tea and coffee ware make it easy to set up a full Turkish tea table.

Halva and baklava

Tahini halva is a crumbly sweet made from sesame paste and sugar, sold here plain and with pistachio. Baklava is made from thin layers of pastry filled with pistachio and soaked in syrup. Both are popular with tea and coffee and are easy to share at family gatherings.
