Creating the Ideal Frappe: Step-by-Step Guide

Frappe is a highly loved beverage among coffee lovers, sweet and with a creamy texture, accidentally discovered by the Greeks in 1957.

The multitude of recipes we find clearly shows that the frappe is more of a drink that adapts depending on the consumer.

Frappes are found in many contexts as a coffee-based drink, although there are many variations that don’t contain coffee at all.

This is due more to the fact that this drink is not generally consumed by the biggest coffee enthusiasts, but rather by fans of creamy textures, whipped cream, and sweet syrups.

Frappe preparation Tips & Tricks

Espresso dilutes the milk cream, so it can be replaced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a thicker texture and a sweeter taste.
Always use cold espresso for best results.
Use half & half for the densest cream.
Get ice cubes from cold brew for a less accentuated coffee taste
