Went to greece a while ago and tried a bunch of coffee there. Did a food tour and was discussing coffee with the tour guide. Told her I really liked their frappes and she informed me that it's an old drink and the only people she knows who drinks them are older people like her parents ๐.
Anyways I didn't let that discourage me from learning how to make them at home after our trip and its entered my rotation of coffee I drink.
They are so easy to make. Takes about 1 minute per drink.
Instructions I use:
- Add in instant coffee and water (according to the instructions in the instant coffee). Note that I think traditional Greek frappes use nescafe.
- Add liquid sugar if you want.
- Blend (I use an immersion blender directly in the serving cup/mug)
- Add ice and milk.
- Serve.
When I make this I also add the ice before blending but I think its more proper to add the ice after.
What instant do you use? My parents use Nescafe, and I've trying to get them off that terrorcompany for years.
Currently I'm using blendy but that might be hard to source where you are.
I think I saw that at the international store in the Asian section the other day. Japanese, iirc? Anyway. Is it good? It wasn't cheap lol
It's good if you can get it somewhat cheap. I wouldn't pay more than $10 USD for it. I bought it on sale from a Japanese goods store.
I don't remember how much they were selling it, but I do remember thinking it was expensive lol I'll see if I can find if for cheap the next time I make it into town.
