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 💀.

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:

  1. Add in instant coffee and water (according to the instructions in the instant coffee). Note that I think traditional Greek frappes use nescafe.
  2. Add liquid sugar if you want.
  3. Blend (I use an immersion blender directly in the serving cup/mug)
  4. Add ice and milk.
  5. Serve.

When I make this I also add the ice before blending but I think its more proper to add the ice after.

You don't have to make it in your fridge. You can let it sit on the counter as well if you want to try it again. I do think you need a good cold brew bean though. I think the best beans for drip and the best for cold brew are not the same. You will need to experiment a bit.

    Fair. I could try that. I do also have a beer fridge I could try using too. I’ve also heard cold drip or ice drip is a bit different but still a cold brewing method. I’d consider that as well.

    I love iced coffee, so it’s not about not liking cold coffee. I just haven’t been able to enjoy cold brew specifically before. I’m not against trying it again though.
