How to Make Frappe Coffee

A favorite among many coffee lovers, frappe coffee is an iced coffee recipe that was created in Greece by a Nestlé employee named Dimitris Vakondios. The creation was the product of a coincidence: when running out of hot water to prepare an instant coffee, he decided to use cold water.

To ensure that the ingredients were well mixed, he ran the blender on high power, resulting in an iced coffee with a lot of froth on the surface.

From that moment until today, frappe coffee has become one of the most important gourmet drinks in Greece and in the world. If you want to know how to make frappe coffee, you will first need the following ingredients:

  • 200 g crushed or cubed ice
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 200 ml of liquid milk
  • 2 or 3 coffee beans to decorate
  • Ice cream or cream (optional)
  • Vanilla essence (optional)

Once you have them, follow the steps that we detail below.

  • Prepare the espresso manually or in your automatic coffee machine, if you have one. Mix it with sugar and cold milk.
  • Pour it into the blender glass next to the ice. If you want it very creamy, you can add a little ice cream or cream, plus a dash of vanilla. Beat it for a few minutes until you see the coffee slush.
  • Serve it in a tall glass and, if you wish, decorate it with a little ground cinnamon, syrup of the flavor you like the most, or with 2 or 3 coffee beans.

This drink is a good option to refresh yourself during the summer, but if you are a coffee lover, you can consume it at any time of the year.
