Greek frappé

Ingredients

• 1 tsp instant coffee (1 to 2 teaspoons)
• 1 tsp sugar (1 to 2 teaspoons, to taste)
• 30 ml cold water (To make the coffee foam base)
• ice cubes (As needed)
• 120 ml cold water (120 to 150 ml)
• milk (Optional splash, for a smoother variation)

Steps

1. 1

   Put the instant coffee, sugar, and 30 ml cold water in a shaker, a jar with a lid, or a tall glass.

2. 2

   Shake or whisk the mixture vigorously for about 15 to 30 seconds, until a thick, light-brown layer of foam forms.

3. 3

   Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.

4. 4

   Pour the coffee foam into the glass with ice.

5. 5

   Slowly add 120 to 150 ml cold water. If desired, also add a splash of milk for a smoother variation.

6. 6

   Stir the frappé briefly before drinking, or leave the layers beautifully visible.

Notes

Use instant coffee; regular filter coffee or espresso will not produce the same foam. A shaker, jar with a lid, or milk frother can be used. Sugar helps stabilize the foam. The frappé can be prepared without sugar, with a little sugar, or extra sweet.
