Ingredients
Scale
Coffee Base
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee (preferably Nescafé)
- 2–3 tablespoons cold water
- 1–2 teaspoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
To Serve
- Ice cubes
- 1/2 cup cold milk or more cold water (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee Foam: In a shaker or jar with a tight lid, combine the instant coffee, sugar (if using), and 2–3 tablespoons of cold water. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until a thick foam forms on top.
- Fill the Glass: Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes, preparing it for the frappe.
- Assemble the Frappe: Pour the thick coffee foam into the glass over the ice cubes.
- Top and Serve: Add the remaining cold water or cold milk, depending on your preference, to top up the glass. Stir gently to combine and serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting sugar: “sketo” (no sugar), “metrio” (1 tsp), or “glyko” (2 tsp).
- Use evaporated milk for a traditional, creamy twist.
- For a quicker foam, use a milk frother or handheld mixer to blend the coffee mixture.
