How to Make a frappé

Watch this video tutorial to learn how to make a frappé. Save money and time by making a blended frozen coffee drink from the neighborhood cafe right at home.

You Will Need

* A blender
* 2 tsp Instant coffee
* 1/4-c Cold water
* 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
* 5 large ice cubes
* 16 oz Glass
* 1/2-tbsp Flavored syrup
* And whipped cream

Step 1. Blend the coffee and sugar

Put the instant coffee, water, and sugar in the blender and blend on medium speed for 20 to 30 seconds, until the mixture is combined.

Add flavored syrup if you'd like.

Step 2. Blend in the ice and flavoring

Add the ice cubes to the mix and blend on medium-high speed until the ice cubes are broken and the mixture looks like a smoothie.

Step 3. Pour the frappe into the glass

Slowly pour the frappe mixture into a tall glass and let it settle for about a minute. Froth will develop and float to the top of the drink.

Step 4. Top with whipped cream

Serve as is, or top with a generous dollop of whipped cream for an extra-decadent treat.

FACT: The first coffee frappe was served in 1957 at the Thessaloniki International Trade Fair in Greece.
