ICED COFFEE - FRAPPE

"If you're wondering how to make Iced Coffee, its really easy!"

Frappe is an Iced Coffee, made years before big coffee shops like Starbucks or Mcdonalds were making iced coffee.

The Greeks love their coffee boost and this is a great drink to have in the summer, when the traditional Greek coffee is too hot for the weather.

Greeks will have this in a tall glass with a straw and will always take their time, slowly sipping their Frappe, never rushing it.

Black Blender Bottle W/wire Shaker Ball

The Greeks used to use evaporated milk in their Iced Cafe recipe. Cows' milk was not always readily available and this was more convenient, being in a tin.

It also makes it creamy so if you like that flavour do use it, otherwise you can use normal milk in the recipes.

The Greeks have been using a Frappe maker - similar to a shaker for years and it produces a quality Frappe. You could use a blender to get a thicker drink.
