Learn how to make authentic Greek Frappé at home. Frappe is a frothy blend of coffee, ice, and sugar, served with an optional layer of cream on top. With only three ingredients, this refreshing treat is easy to make and will leave you craving more.
Pour 2 teaspoon instant coffee granules, 2 teaspoon (or more) sugar, and 2 tablespoon water into a small mason jar with a thigh-fitting lid or cocktail shaker. [*See our step-by-step process photos in the post above and extra tips.]
Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes until very foamy.
Fill a tall glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour the foam into the glass and slowly top off with cold water.
Top it off with a splash of milk or cream if using.

Notes
This recipe makes one serving. Feel free to double (or triple) the ingredients if you need to serve more people.
If you make it with milk instead of water (except for a little bit in the first step), you'll have a frapógalo- a cold frappe float.
Don't skimp on the shaking step. Shake vigorously! The harder you shake, the more foamy your frappe will be!
It's damn near impossible to get all the foam out of the jar...so pour some water in it, put the lid on, and shake. Pour contents into your glass, and repeat as necessary.
No shortcuts! If you try to add all the water and then shake, you'll end up with just the foam.

Storage:If you have leftover frappe, you can freeze it in an ice cube tray. Next time you make it, use them instead of plain ice.
