Tips for Making Greek Frappé

• Use instant coffee and not ground. It dissolves and traps air to make the frappé foam, and ground coffee will not.
• Shake with only a little water. A small amount of liquid whips into a thick, stable foam, and too much stays thin.
• Order the sweetness to taste. Two teaspoons of sugar gives a medium drink, one is lighter, and three or four is a sweet, dessert-like one.

What to Serve with Greek Frappé

• Spanakopita
• Fresh figs
• Greek yoghurt with honey

Storing & Reheating Greek Frappé

Best made and drunk at once. The foam collapses within about 20 minutes, and it is not meant to be stored.
