We drink it all year round but especially during the summer. You can make it if you need a quick coffee in the morning, but it goes much better with the relaxed, laid-back Greek lifestyle. If you are a coffee lover, the Frappe will definitely become one of your favourites. So here is how you make it:
Step 1
Relax. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and imagine you are in Greece.
Put on some traditional Greek music.
Once your relaxation state has reached Greek levels, gather everything you will need:
- One glass, preferably a tall one
- Hand mixer or a shaker
- One straw
- Instant coffee
- Cold water
- Ice cubes
- Milk (optional)
- Sugar (optional)
Step 2
Put 1-2 teaspoons of coffee inside the glass. Add 2 tsps of sugar for a sweet coffee, 1 for medium and 0 for plain. If you will use a shaker to mix your coffee, add your ingredients in there.
Step 3
Slowly add a small amount of water, approximately a level of 1-2 fingers, depending on your glass/shaker.
Step 4
If you are using a hand mixer, mix well until a creamy, thick foam is formed. If you are using a shaker, add a few ice cubes, close the lid and shake well for a few minutes - then pour the foam in a glass.
Step 5
Add milk if you desire. You can also use cream or evaporated milk. I usually add 30-40ml.
Step 6
Pour water until the glass is almost full
Step 7
Add ice until your glass is full
Step 8
Enjoy your Greek style coffee!!
