How To Make A Frappe

Total Time: 20 hours

Step 1 – Combine Ingredients in Blender

Frappe

The method for making a frappe is very simple. Just combine the following ingredients in a blender and blend until you have a thick, foamy drink.

Ingredients

– 2 teaspoons of instant coffee
– ⅔ cup of cold water
– Ice cubes
– 2 tablespoons of milk
– Sugar (the measure of this doesn’t matter very much, just add the same amount as you would to a normal coffee)

How long you blend for entirely depends on your preference and, just like a normal coffee, you can alter the measurements of the ingredients to suit your taste.

Step 2 – Add Ice

Iced Coffee

If you want to make a proper Greek frappe or a traditional iced coffee, combine all of the ingredients in a blender and then, once foamy, pour over the ice.

If you don’t want something too thick or just want a nice iced coffee, you can easily combine the ingredients with no ice, or even in a cocktail shaker if you have one.

The best thing about coffee is how many different varieties there are and how many different ways you can drink it.

Wrap Up

There are lots of traditions surrounding coffee brewing and there are a lot of purists (and pretentious people today who seem to care a lot about what is just a nice drink), but ignore them. Coffee is a drink to be enjoyed or just to be chugged when you’re tired and need some energy.

Coffee isn’t something to become obsessed with any more than milkshakes or teas are.

There’s nothing wrong with caring about what you put in your body or wanting your coffee to be a certain way, but there’s no reason to care how anyone else drinks their morning joe. 

Coffee is simply a drink that can be made in many different ways and it is meant to be enjoyed. When you come down to it, the best way to drink coffee is exactly as you like it.
