How to Make a Frape
If you have been either to Cyprus or Greece, you must have tried the Frape! Did you wonder how it is made? Your quest for how to make a frape is over. This article presents a detailed video of all the steps necessary to make a frape, Cyprus style. Well, it goes a step beyond, and instead of using the conventional off-the-shelf milk, I am using fresh goat milk. I call it, being bold!. In Greece it is customary to use saturated milk. Here it goes…
A couple of things to keep in mind:
Do not mind the Lipton glasses. They are big and they do the job.
The video states that it is necessary to use Nescafe manufactured in Greece. Yes, this is a necessity in order to make the real Frape. Nescafe, manufactured in other parts of the world, is not optimized for frape making. As it is to my knowledge, (do not quote me on this), the dehydration process of the coffee in making Nescafe, varies from region to region in order to meet its intended use. For example, I tried to use Nescafe, manufactured in Mexico. The foam would not hold, as the Mexican Nescafe is intended to make frapiccino.
The fresh goat milk is not a necessity. The milk of your preference should suffice. Also the quantity of milk depends on your taste.
Finally, if you take your coffee with sugar, make sure you add the necessary amount with the dry Nescafe, before the mixing process.
Following these simple steps, will result in a refreshing frape… to cool you down in the hot summer days, or wake you up in the morning.
Refresh yourself… and while you are at it… top it with some halloumi!
