|
|
Frappe coffee is supposed to be Greek only, but I've seen many Turkish Cypriots enjoying it too.
Quote: 1 1/2 tsp instant coffee (Nescafe is the most popular brand)
1 1/2 cups cold water
Sugar to taste
Milk
Ice
Shaker or Blender
In a Frappe container, cocktail shaker or blender mix together 2 Tbs water, 2-3 ice cubes, coffee and sugar to taste:
sketo – not sweet = no sugar.
metrio – medium sweet = two teaspoons sugar
gliko – sweet = three teaspoons sugar
Shake contents for about 30 seconds or blend for about 10 seconds. The result should be simply foam.
Pour into tall glass half way filled with ice. Add remaining water and milk to taste (some drink Frappe without milk). Put in a straw.
This recipe makes enough for one serving.
Note - many believe that the European Nescafe tastes better than the US variety. Try experimenting with other brands if the result is not to your liking. Some Greek and International stores do carry the European Nescafe if you are a purist. |

I love my frappes in the summer too :-)
In Greece they make the frappe with evaporated milk instead of fresh and they also seem to enjoy it stronger then us Cypriots.
I have also noticed they take 5 times as long to drink the bloody thing!!!! |

Frappes are a must in the summer, quite like the new Chino's that have been out for a few years now in Cyprus, like a slush puppy frappe - stays cold much longer ;)
Just be careful on the brain freezes :) |
