THE GREEK 'FRAPPE' - HOW TO MAKE A DEBT FREE ICED COFFEE!

We drink it all year round but especially during the summer.  You can make it if you need a quick coffee in the morning, but it goes much better with the relaxed, laid-back Greek lifestyle.  If you are a coffee lover, the Frappe will definitely become one of your favourites.  So here is how you make it:

Step 1

Relax.  Take a deep breath.  Close your eyes and imagine you are in Greece.

Put on some traditional Greek music.

Once your relaxation state has reached Greek levels, gather everything you will need:

• One glass, preferably a tall one
• Hand mixer or a shaker
• One straw
• Instant coffee
• Cold water
• Ice cubes 
• Milk (optional)
• Sugar (optional)

Step 2

Put 1-2 teaspoons of coffee inside the glass.  Add 2 tsps of sugar for a sweet coffee, 1 for medium and 0 for plain.  If you will use a shaker to mix your coffee, add your ingredients in there.

Step 3

Slowly add a small amount of water, approximately a level of 1-2 fingers, depending on your glass/shaker.  

Step 4

If you are using a hand mixer, mix well until a creamy, thick foam is formed.  If you are using a shaker, add a few ice cubes, close the lid and shake well for a few minutes - then pour the foam in a glass.

Step 5

Add milk if you desire.  You can also use cream or evaporated milk.  I usually add 30-40ml.

Step 6

Pour water until the glass is almost full

Step 7

Add ice until your glass is full

Step 8

Enjoy your Greek style coffee!!
