About This Cocktail
Frappé is a chilled, refreshing beverage typically made with coffee, ice, milk, and sugar. Originating from Greece, the Frappé is a popular summertime drink known for its frothy, iced texture. It’s made by shaking or blending instant coffee, cold water, and ice to create a foam, then topped with milk or cream for a creamy finish. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding sugar or flavored syrups. It’s a versatile drink that can be customized to be stronger or lighter in flavor, depending on your preference.
Ingredients
How to Mix
Mix together. Blend at highest blender speed for about 1 minute. Pour into a glass and drink with a straw. Notes: This works best if everything is cold (if you make fresh coffee, mix it with the milk and let it sit in the fridge for 1/2 hour. If it is not frothy, add more milk, or even just some more milk powder. The froth gradually turns to liquid at the bottom of the glass, so you will find that you can sit and drink this for about 1/2 hour, with more iced coffee continually appearing at the bottom. Very refreshing.
