Went to greece a while ago and tried a bunch of coffee there. Did a food tour and was discussing coffee with the tour guide. Told her I really liked their frappes and she informed me that it’s an old drink and the only people she knows who drinks them are older people like her parents 💀.
Anyways I didn’t let that discourage me from learning how to make them at home after our trip and its entered my rotation of coffee I drink.
They are so easy to make. Takes about 1 minute per drink.
Instructions I use:
- Add in instant coffee and water (according to the instructions in the instant coffee). Note that I think traditional Greek frappes use nescafe.
- Add liquid sugar if you want.
- Blend (I use an immersion blender directly in the serving cup/mug)
- Add ice and milk.
- Serve.
When I make this I also add the ice before blending but I think its more proper to add the ice after.
The recipe you wrote and the picture is similar but different color from the original. The original recipe after you blend it in the mixer, you fill it up with water and then add milk in the end.
Nice one!
I added milk in the end in the photo. The foam is from blending the instant coffee (and also the blended ice).
