Ingredients
Frappe Coffee Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Instant Coffee (Nescafe Taster’s Choice French Roast recommended)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1½ ounces water (for frothing)
- Ice (nugget or larger cubes as preferred)
- 8 ounces water (to fill)
- 2 ounces milk
Instructions
- Combine Coffee, Sugar, and Water: In a tall glass, add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1½ ounces of water. This forms the base mixture that will be whipped into froth.
- Froth the Mixture: Using a hand frother, vigorously whip the coffee mixture until it becomes thick and almost triples in volume, creating a creamy foam layer essential to the frappe’s texture.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass about halfway (for nugget ice) or around three-quarters full (for larger ice cubes) with ice to chill the drink and maintain its refreshing character.
- Pour Water: Pour 8 ounces of water over the ice, leaving some space at the top for milk. Gently swirl or stir to combine the water with the foam and ice.
- Add Milk: Pour 2 ounces of milk into the glass to add creaminess and balance the intensity of the coffee.
- Final Stir and Serve: Give the drink a final swirl or stir to blend the milk with the foam and coffee mixture. Serve immediately, with or without a straw as per preference.
Notes
- Choose instant coffee with strong flavor for the best frothy texture and bold taste.
- The hand frother is essential for creating the characteristic thick foam of a Greek frappe.
- Adjust sugar according to your taste preference or substitute with sugar alternatives.
- Use cold or chilled milk and water to keep the frappe refreshing longer.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
