Word of Mouth: Turkish Boza

On my return visit to try the sahlep at Güllüoglu, on Coney Island Ave., one of the regular customers volunteered as my food stylist (a luxury; perhaps you've noticed how many of these photos feature my left hand). I saw by his outfit that he spends a lot of time in the neighborhood, and asked if he'd ever seen boza, a Turkish hot drink prepared with chickpeas, cinnamon, and sugar. He pointed me to a pair of markets, by the names of Efe and Sultan, on Ocean Ave. at Ave. W. Although those markets don't serve ready-made boza, at least they sell the mix; I'll visit them soon.
