Frappe is an original cold coffee drink of Greek origin, covered with milk foam. This drink, which is very popular in Greece and Cyprus, is known by its French name. The traditional frappe is made from coffee and cold milk.
Features and history of frappe
The main ingredients in frappe are coffee, milk, ice cream and fruit syrups.
To prepare frappe, use a special shaker, mixer or blender. It is customary to serve this drink in 2 ways: pour the drink into a glass filled with crushed ice and accompany it with a straw or in a glass without ice with a short straw. Fruit cocktails are garnished with berries, fruits, or whipped cream. Alcoholic drinks such as liqueur can be added to the drink.
Frappe was invented by a resourceful Greek who could not find hot water at one of the fairs. Therefore, the Greek stirred coffee with cold water for a long time until a high foam was formed.
