Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • tall water glass
  • milk frother or milkshake maker
  • 1 - 2 tsp instant coffee (Nescafe Original Classic)
  • sugar - optional (see below)
  • milk - optional (see below)
  • 3 - 4 ice cubes
  • 1 cup cold water
  • straw

Method
 

  1. Before making a frappé coffee, decide what type of frappé you'd prefer: In Greece, you will be asked how you'd like it: - Plain (Sketos): 1 - 2 tsp of instant Nescafe coffee, no sugar, no milk - Medium (Metrios): 1 - 2 tsps of instant Nescafe coffee; 1 - 2 tsps of sugar - Sweet (Glykos): 1 - 2 tsps of instant Nescafe coffee, 3 - 4 tsps of sugar - With Milk (Me Gala) : 1 - 2 tbsp milk, cream, or evaporated milk (to taste)
  2. To a tall water glass, add: - Sugar (sugar first to prevent the coffee from sticking to the glass) - Instant Nescafe coffee - Small amount of cold water - just enough to cover the coffee and a bit more
  3. Whiz the mixture until a very thick, creamy foam is produced. You should be able to turn the glass upside down and have nothing pour out.
  4. Add 3 or 4 ice cubes, milk, and one cup (or more) of cold water.
  5. Add a drinking straw, stir, and enjoy!
