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.

Yeah I know my tour guide was right. However I do enjoy how they taste for what ever reason so i will continue to make them from time to time. Of course using non-Nescafe instant coffee though.

    I will have to give it a shot for the first time in 20 years, I used to enjoy them. I have Starbucks instant coffee and its half decent. Maybe toss it in my Vitamix and see how it goes! Thanks for the nostalgia!
