Main Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee (preferably Nescafé Classic)
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/2 cup cold water or milk (or a mix)
- Ice cubes
- Evaporated milk or regular milk (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee base: In a shaker, jar, or blender, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Shake or blend vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the mixture becomes thick, frothy, and light brown.
- Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes to ensure your drink is refreshingly cold.
- Combine and serve: Pour the frothy coffee mixture over the ice, then top with cold water, milk, or a mix of both, according to your preference. Stir gently to combine and serve with a straw for easy sipping.
Notes
- Customize your frappe to your liking: Sketos (no sugar), Metrios (1 tsp sugar), or Glykos (2+ tsp sugar).
- Use evaporated milk for a more authentic creamy taste.
- Blend with milk instead of water for a smoother texture.
