Frappé done right…

nescafeAnd now for something on the lighter side.

Ever travel to Greece and order a frappé?  Yes?  Then you know what you’ve been missing when you get back home.  If you’ve not already discovered this, you can purchase frappé coffee from Amazon and make your own authentic Greek frappé’s!

“Nescafé Classic,” on the surface, appears to be just another instant coffee mix, but however Nescafé does it, they manage to pack that magical Greek frappé flavor into such a tiny can.  You can purchase a 200g can of Nescafé Classic from Amazon (Click Here).  Make sure you order the coffee that comes in the can that looks like the photo in this posting.  Don’t order the jars, pouches, or the red cans.

Once your golden nectar arrives from the Amazon Gods, take a moment to hold it, caress it, and dream of the ambrosia within.  Next, pop the lid and put a heaping teaspoon full of coffee in a martini shaker.  Add about 1.5 cups of water and a couple of ice cubes.  Optionally add some whole milk and/or sugar to taste.  Shake, shake, shake it up…about 30 seconds should do it.

Pour this, the pinnacle of all Greek contributions to civilization into a cold glass, add a really flimsy straw and take the rest of the day off (just like the Greeks).

Opa!
