- 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 is best for making a Frappé?
For the best Frappé, it's recommended to use a strong, freshly brewed black coffee. Espresso works well, but any robust coffee will provide the rich flavor needed to balance the milk and sugar.
Can I use non-dairy milk in a Frappé?
Absolutely! Non-dairy alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk can be used in place of regular milk. Just keep in mind that the flavor and creaminess may vary slightly depending on the type of milk you choose.
How can I make my Frappé sweeter?
If you prefer a sweeter Frappé, you can increase the sugar to your taste or use flavored syrups like vanilla or hazelnut. Additionally, adding whipped cream on top can enhance both sweetness and presentation.
Is it possible to make a Frappé without a blender?
While a blender is ideal for achieving the frothy texture of a Frappé, you can also whisk the ingredients vigorously by hand or use a milk frother to create some foam before mixing.
How long can I store a Frappé in the fridge?
A Frappé is best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store it, keep it in the fridge for no more than 24 hours. The froth will dissipate, and the flavors may change over time.
