Pomegranate Juice = 5 Lira ($2.5 USD)
I am going to have to say, I get very skeptical about 100% Juice in America. Even though it says it is 100%, they tend to add sugar... and other stuff. But there in Istanbul, the cook actully squeezed the whole pomegrate into the glass and stuck a straw. I was very very impressed. But the taste was of course... not sugary. But felt I was becoming healthy and satisfied with the feeling that I was doing something good for my body.
Hot Tea = 2 Lira ($1 USD)
Apple Tea = 1 Lira ($0.5 USD)
There is something you must try in Istanbul. Hot Tea. They are everywhere. They are in Bistros, Restaurants, even on the Bosphorus River Cruize. it is hot and very tasty. If you want, you can add sugar to the tea, but I liked as is.
There is also apple tea, a bit more expensive than the regular hot tea, but it is sweater. Good with Desert.
Latte with Salmon Sandwich = 20 Lira ($10 USD)
This Little Delight at the outdoor cafe in the Istanbul Archaelogy Museum (Located in the same district as Topkapi Palace) cost me more money than the super fancy restaurant I went near my hotel. But can't complain, I got to have a little taste of home... was worth $10 usd.
