Iced Greek Coffee

4 servings

30 minutes

Greek iced coffee, known as frappe, is a refreshing drink that originated in Greece in the 1950s. Its invention is attributed to an accidental experiment with instant coffee. Frappe quickly became a favorite drink among Greeks, especially on hot summer days. Its flavor is a harmony of sweetness and rich coffee bitterness, while its texture is airy and cool. This drink is perfect for leisurely enjoyment on a sunny terrace or relaxing by the sea. It is traditionally served in a tall glass, often with a straw, to fully reveal its rich aroma. Due to its simplicity of preparation, frappe has become popular not only in Greece but also far beyond its borders, remaining a symbol of Greek culture and a relaxed lifestyle.
