With the advent of summer, cold drinks are very popular. Many people love kvass, compotes, chilled teas, and coffee lovers remain devoted only to him. The Greeks first came up with a recipe for frappe coffee - a cold drink to which milk and other ingredients are added. Its main difference is a large amount of crushed ice, which gives a certain zest and density to the drink. Today we will reveal to you the secrets of making delicious aromatic cold frappe coffee.

What is frappe

This cooking recipe was invented in Greece at one of the fairs. At that time, a Nestle representative could not brew an instant drink, as there was no hot water at hand. And he decided to mix cold water with coffee powder and beat. This is how the famous coffee frappe appeared. It is popular in Cyprus, Greece, the drink is also respected in other countries. Frappe is usually served cold, its name translated into Russian means “beat”, “knock”. To prepare such coffee as a frappe, you need to put all the ingredients in a blender or a special shaker and beat well until a thick foam forms. The drink is served in a tall glass and crushed ice is added. To enjoy the taste of Greek coffee, it is drunk slowly through a straw. Let's get acquainted with the recipes for making a real drink.

Traditional cold coffee frappe

Such real coffee can be tasted only in Greek coffee houses, we practically do not prepare it. If you could not find it in restaurants, we offer you to brew frappe coffee according to the recipe at home. This will require:

• Coffee in granules - one tablespoon;
• Fatty milk - one hundred milliliters;
• Sugar - two teaspoons;
• Mineral water - one hundred milliliters;
• Ice cubes - 5-7 pieces.

Chill water and milk before cooking. It is better to whip coffee with a blender, this way you get a thick mixture with foam, but if it is not at hand, use a shaker or a regular jar. The Greeks beat the mixture with a special device, it resembles a small mixer and is called a frapper. We will serve the drink in a tall glass with a straw, put the glass in the freezer for ten minutes to cool it.

Put coffee and sugar in a high container, if you prefer a non-sweet drink, you can not add it. Pour four tablespoons of water and beat for about one minute until a thick, fluffy foam is obtained. Remove the glass from the freezer and fill it with the prepared mixture, carefully and slowly add the remaining water and milk. Now you can add ice cubes and garnish with grated chocolate or caramel. Enjoy delicious refreshing coffee.

Cherry frappe

We offer to prepare an original coffee and berry drink. You will need the following ingredients:

• One hundred milliliters of ready-made brewed espresso;
• A few pitted cherry berries;
• Five ice cubes;
• Two cherries on a branch for decoration.

Whisk the cherries, crush the ice and place in a tall glass. Slowly and carefully pour the espresso into the glass. Garnish the frappe with a frozen cherry and serve with a straw.

To prepare one serving you will need:

• One hundred milliliters of espresso;
• A piece of dark chocolate, twenty grams;
• Seventy milliliters of fat milk;
• Honey to taste;
• Ice cubes.

Fill the glass two-thirds full with crushed ice. In the cooled espresso, add honey, milk and grate half of the chocolate. Beat this mixture well with a blender until you get a stable thick foam. Slowly pour the whipped mass into a glass with ice to keep the foam. Garnish the drink with grated chocolate.

Frappe with ice cream

To prepare insanely delicious coffee, prepare the following ingredients:

• One cup of brewed espresso;
• Half a glass of milk;
• One hundred grams of ice cream;
• A piece of chocolate;
• Seven ice cubes.

Whisk full fat milk with ice cream in a bowl. Put crushed ice in glasses and pour in the prepared milk mixture. Carefully, so as not to knock down the foam, pour in the strained espresso. Decorate your coffee with grated chocolate and serve with a cocktail straw.

It is a rare case when, up to a year, history stores the date of birth of any food or drink. However, we know for sure about frappe: it was first prepared in 1957 in Thessaloniki, Greece when the international fair was held there.

The Greek Dimitrios Vakondios, representing Nestle at this event, was supposed to prepare a cup of instant coffee, but he did not have boiling water at his disposal, then he found an unusual way out of the situation: pour the powder with cold water, and then shake it in a shaker with ice.

I liked the drink and it turned out to be very timely in the hot southern climate. Many wanted to repeat this experiment.

Although the drink was born in Greece, it was called the French word "frappe" (accent - on the last syllable), which means "chilled" in Russian.

Frappe coffee - what is it?

The frappe coffee consists of espresso and crushed ice(about what we talked about here), sometimes additives add variety to the recipe:

• chocolate;
• nuts;
• ice cream;
• fruits;
• cream.

Since a significant amount of ice in the drink is allotted, frappe is recommended for people who limit their own menu to different diets, counting every calorie.

It is for them that frappe without milk is best suited. It is important that the drink is freshly brewed, “alive”, and not prepared several hours earlier.

Recipes for making a drink at home, its composition

This drink is very pleasant to prepare at home, surprising your family and friends. Moreover, you can fully show your imagination and creativity by using ingredients unusual for bars and cafes.

For example, blackcurrant from your own summer cottage or cranberries.

You can also diversify the taste of frappe with: cinnamon (it is added to coffee during brewing); honey (it will perfectly replace sugar in a drink), cherry syrup (cherries are generally ideal for any desserts and cocktails), pineapple and apricot (the drink will acquire tropical notes), cognac or liquor (a wonderful option for a romantic dinner).

Proportions are chosen based on your own preferences. Prepare a drink with a mixer, blender or shaker (who has what).

The main thing is that as a result of your efforts, the foam is dense.

Classical

The ratio of ingredients in this recipe should be as follows: freshly brewed coffee - 200 ml, milk - 150 ml, ice - a dozen standard cubes.

The components are whipped with a mixer and poured into a glass into which ice has already been poured. Insert a tube into the glass.

Cold

In addition to traditional ingredients, you need to take ice cream and grated chocolate.

First, milk and ice cream are whipped. Tall glass glasses are filled one-third with crushed ice and milk and ice cream are poured in, followed by coffee. Decoration for the drink - chocolate chips.

You will find other recipes for making coffee with ice cream, the name of which is glass.

With caramel

This version of the frappe - a kind of cocktail of coffee, milk and syrup.

The first thing to do is to make coffee (120 ml) and beat in a blender, adding the same amount of milk, a couple of teaspoons of sugar and caramel syrup.

All these products are combined with ice cubes and beat again (for one minute). Decorate the frappe with caramel sauce and a top of whipped cream.

Here is a video with one of the options for making frappe coffee:

Mint with strawberries

For this recipe whip milk, strawberries and sugar(brown is best). Coffee, a mixture of whipped ingredients, is poured into a glass with ice. Decorate with mint leaves.

The straw for this drink needs to be chosen thicker, since pieces of berries will definitely come across in the drink.

Crimson

The basis of the drink is a double espresso(250 ml). You will also need ice and one hundred grams of berries, which are whipped with a blender.

Ice is poured into the glasses, berry puree is placed on top (to make it denser, it must first be held in the freezer for some time).

Coffee is poured into a glass carefully, along the walls. Decorate with fresh berries.

with vanilla

This drink can be prepared according to the classic recipe. With the addition of just one drop of vanilla extract, the taste of coffee frappe changes.

Many believe that in this way the classic version reaches perfection, because an exquisite aroma is added to the excellent tastes.

With chocolate

This coffee frappe is called winter because it uses warming ingredients such as honey and chocolate.

Making a chocolate drink begins with the preparation of a double espresso, mix it (after cooling slightly) with other ingredients - milk, chocolate, honey.

This mixture is whipped with a blender, then poured into a glass, in which there are already pieces of ice, decorated with chocolate chips.

Greek

This recipe is considered an analogue of the one born in 1957 and from which the history of frappe began. That is why it will be interesting to reproduce it in the home kitchen literally in small things, without letting your own imagination run wild.

To prepare it, you should take a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee, water - 50 ml, and milk - twice as much as water.

Sugar is something that you can put in, focusing on your own taste - more or less.

All components of the frappe are whipped in a mixer or shaker. It is necessary to ensure that the foam is thick. This mixture is poured into a glass, in which 3-5 ice cubes are already gleaming.

Banana

First, brew espresso (50 ml). Melt the chocolate bar (you can in a water bath). Get a blender and whisk coffee and one banana, add 100 ml of milk and vanillin and again beat all these components together.

Chocolate is poured into a tall glass goblet, then the whipped mixture. The final chord is a decoration of whipped cream.

Almond

This recipe is interesting because the water used in it is carbonated, it needs to be taken 200 ml. With a mixer, beat this water with a teaspoon of instant coffee and the same amount of sugar.

Pour the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Pour a teaspoon of almond syrup on top.

Difference between frappe and frappuccino

Both of these drinks belong to the group of soft drinks made on the basis of espresso.

But if in the case of frappe, the manufacturer's imagination is allowed and even welcomed, then Frappuccino has been made strictly according to the recipe patented by StarBucks for more than half a century.(she is known in many countries of the world as a manufacturer of refreshing drinks, which include coffee).

Standard serving is 460 ml. It includes milk (required - chilled), ice, sugar and doppio (so called double espresso).

All this together (including ice, and this distinguishes frappuccino from frappe) is whipped. The drink is served with a straw.

How to drink

This drink is usually served as a refreshing drink.- on a hot summer day or stuffy evening. The glass should be tall and transparent so that you can better see all its ingredients. By the way, an Irish glass is also suitable for this drink.

They drink frappe slowly, through a straw, and for different types of drink they select a straw of the desired diameter (if the drink contains pieces of fruit or berries that are not completely crushed by a mixer, the tube should be thicker than usual).

Interestingly, in Greece this drink is considered an integral part of the traditional pastime of the southerners.

Even an unusual record was registered - local residents, hiding from the sun, talking in a friendly company, drank a portion of frappe through a straw for four hours.

Due to the fact that it is desirable to delay the pleasure as long as possible, the Greeks consider it permissible to add a little cold water to coffee while drinking.

Well, the foam is completely sucked out with the help of a straw, so that the glass is perfectly empty and not a single drop of goodies would be wasted.

The main components of 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 decorated with berries, fruits or whipped cream. Alcoholic beverages, such as liquor, can be added to the drink.

Frappe is the name of an unusual coffee drink that perfectly cools in the heat and invigorates. To prepare it, you need a minimum of ingredients, and the recipe is so simple that even a schoolboy can handle it. Frappe coffee is a low-calorie drink, which makes it attractive for those who are on a diet.

Peculiarities

It is prepared on the basis of espresso with the addition of ice. In the process of whipping such a cocktail, a lot of foam is formed, due to which the taste becomes softer. If you prepare it on the basis of instant coffee, the taste may have a slight sourness. Water takes away bitterness, so cold coffee is much more pleasant to drink without added sugar.

Frappe coffee drink is usually served in glasses and drunk through a straw. In the French recipe, it includes ice cream, which gives a particularly creamy taste to the cocktail. If alcohol or syrups are added to a cold drink, then this is no longer a frappe.

Despite the light taste and cooling effect, it can be consumed not only in summer, but also in the cold season. There are "winter" recipes in which milk, chocolate, honey and even nuts are added to the drink.

Properties

• Frappe prepared according to the classic recipe has a calorie content not exceeding 2 kcal per 50 ml. When adding a teaspoon of sugar, the indicator increases to 20 kcal.
• Frappe has a low caffeine content - from 60 to 120 mg.
• Cold serving coffee has a slowing effect on the digestion process, so it is better to use it separately from meals during snack periods.

Origin

Although the word "frappe" is of French origin, the roots of the drink are Greek. The frappe coffee recipe was invented by accident by Nestle representative Dimitrios Vakondios at the international fair in Thessaloniki in 1957. Being a lover of instant coffee, he did not find boiling water to make his favorite drink, and simply filled it with cold water. To break up the undissolved lumps, he decided to mix the ingredients in a shaker. This is how the recipe for Greek coffee frappe appeared - a cold cocktail with a high head of foam.

This recipe has taken root perfectly in hot Greece and Cyprus. In Europe, it has also become popular and widespread, with each country having its own local combination of ingredients.

How to make a classic

This variation of the drink is most often found in southern Europe, although it is simply called "iced coffee" there. In the rest of the mainland, the recipe has undergone many changes and has rather turned into a cocktail with different flavors.

To make frappe coffee at home, you will need:

• 50 ml of freshly brewed espresso or strong coffee (proportions - 2 teaspoons of ground coffee per 100 ml of water).
• Ice in proportions with coffee 1:1. To give the strength of the drink, you can take 2 parts of coffee for 1 part of water.
• Sugar to taste.

To make a real frappe, you will need a blender with a whisk attachment or a shaker. As a last resort, a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid can be used.

Cooking steps:

1. We prepare espresso in a Turk or a coffee machine.
2. We filter the drink and, if desired, add sugar or honey to it to taste.
3. Let the coffee cool down.
4. Pour the chilled espresso into a whisk, add crushed ice or ice water.
5. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.

The finished drink should have a thick head of foam on the surface.

Greek recipe

Thoroughly beat all the ingredients with a mixer or blender until a stable foam appears. Pour the resulting cocktail in a thin stream along the walls of the glass, so that the foam is preserved. Garnish the drink with grated chocolate.

To prepare cold coffee with ice cream, you will need almost the same ingredients as in the previous recipe.

Take:

• 200 ml freshly brewed double espresso.

How to submit

Frappe is similar in temperature to a cocktail, so it is customary to serve it in tall glasses. It is most convenient to drink such a drink through a straw.
