Dr. Oz brought on a boiled Greek coffee expert to go over the best way to make a cup of Greek coffee. The expert, Ya-Ya Nouly Lolis, said she has been drinking Greek coffee her entire life and she is over 60-years-old, has a healthy heart and more energy than a little kid.

Check out her secret recipe for boiled Greek coffee below:

Dr Oz Boiled Greek Coffee Ingredients: 

• 2 cups cold water
• 2 teaspoons coffee

Dr Oz Boiled Greek Coffee Directions:

• Bring the coffee and water to a boil and wait for the foam to appear, about two to three minutes after the boiling has begun.The more bubbles there are after the boiling, the richer the coffee will taste.

Lolis recommended pouring the coffee into a small cup and allowing the ground to settle on the bottom before taking a sip. She also suggested preparing your Greek coffee in a Briki. If you don’t have one, she said a small pot would work just as well.
