Good to know

Chef's tip

☀️ For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle the top of your frappé with cocoa powder or cinnamon. 🍫

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The texture of the milk and crushed ice deteriorates.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The coffee and sugar base keeps 2-3 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. Add milk and ice at the last moment.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The coffee and sugar base keeps 2-3 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. Add milk and ice at the last moment.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, drink to be consumed fresh.

Variations

Replace the milk with oat or almond milk.
Add a spoonful of vanilla or caramel syrup for an indulgent version.
Serve unsweetened or double the sugar depending on whether you prefer your coffee more bitter or sweeter.

Mistakes to avoid

Not dissolving the coffee well: grains remain. Dissolve it with the sugar in the hot water before adding the milk.
Blending too briefly: the drink isn't smooth. Blend about 30 seconds on high speed.
Letting the frappé coffee sit: the foam collapses. Drink it right away.

Frequently asked questions

Which instant coffee should I use for a frappé coffee?

A classic soluble instant coffee works very well. Two teaspoons are enough for one glass. Choose one whose taste you like, as it gives the drink its character once mixed with the milk.

Can I make a frappé coffee without a blender?

Yes, a shaker or a large closed jar lets you get a foam by vigorously shaking the dissolved coffee, the sugar and a little ice. The foam will be a bit less dense than with a high-speed blender.

How do I get a nice foam?

Blend the dissolved coffee and cold milk with the crushed ice on high speed for about 30 seconds. The incorporated air gives a smooth, creamy texture. Serve right away, before the foam collapses.

Which milk should I choose for a frappé coffee?

Whole milk makes the drink creamier. Low-fat milk gives a lighter result. Plant-based drinks, like oat, foam well and work for a dairy-free version.
