I used to make a frappe for my dad, every night after dinner (yes, after dinner!) and he slpet like a baby afterwards 🤷. But let’s get this straight: we’re not talking about a whipped cream-heavy milkshake like this homemade frappuccino (coffee ice cream frappe recipe).
A struck (also called coffee strikes) is a classic Greek iced coffee made from spray-dried instant coffee and water. Invented in Thessaloniki, Greece in the 1950s, this foamy, ice-cold drink quickly became a summer essential for every Greek household. Year’s after that, in the early 2000s, a similar drink called Dalgona coffeewas invented and gained immense popularity around 2020.
Greek Frappe coffee is refreshing, energizing, and surprisingly foamy thanks to the instant coffee’s unique chemistry when shaken or blended. If coffee is your kryptonite, don’t miss this cold espresso recipitesthe modern version of frappe, and this recipe for the traditional Greek coffee (made in a pot).
