Ingredients
- black Coffee mixer 120 ml (4 oz)
- Milk mixer 120 ml (4 oz)
- Sugar 1-2 tsp
How to Make a Frappé
Mix together. Blend at highest blender speed for about 1 minute. Pour into a glass and drink with a straw. Notes: This works best if everything is cold (if you make fresh coffee, mix it with the milk and let it sit in the fridge for 1/2 hour. If it is not frothy, add more milk, or even just some more milk powder. The froth gradually turns to liquid at the bottom of the glass, so you will find that you can sit and drink this for about 1/2 hour, with more iced coffee continually appearing at the bottom. Very refreshing.
Bartender Tip

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of coffee works best for making a Frappé?
For the best Frappé, use strong black coffee, preferably brewed from high-quality beans. Cold brew or espresso can enhance the flavor and richness, but ensure it is chilled before blending to achieve the desired frothy texture.
Can I use non-dairy milk for a Frappé?
Absolutely! Non-dairy alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy milk can be used in place of regular milk. Each type will impart a unique flavor and texture, allowing you to customize your Frappé to your dietary preferences.
How can I adjust the sweetness of my Frappé?
You can easily modify the sweetness of your Frappé by adjusting the amount of sugar added. Start with 1 teaspoon and taste before adding more, or consider using flavored syrups or natural sweeteners like honey or agave for a different twist.
Is it possible to make a Frappé without a blender?
While a blender is ideal for achieving the frothy consistency of a Frappé, you can also whisk the ingredients vigorously by hand or use a milk frother. It may take more effort, but it can still yield a delicious drink.
What is the best way to serve a Frappé?
Serve your Frappé in a highball glass with a straw for easy sipping. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
