Ingredients
- 360 milliliters coffee, chill
- 120 milliliters of milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 360 milliliters of ice
Step
Method 1 of 2: Making a Frappé
Step 1. Prepare the coffee
To make a frappé, you'll need about 360 milliliters of coffee. As a general guide, dissolve 4 tablespoons of coffee in 180 milliliters of water or use 360 milliliters of ground coffee concentrate. You can use ground coffee or instant coffee. Apart from that, there are a few things you need to consider:
- Ground coffee is coffee beans that have been roasted and ground for later use in coffee makers. This type of coffee is fresh ground coffee and can have certain characteristics that are not present in instant coffee, such as a touch of sweeter or more distinctive taste.
- Instant coffee is coffee that is ready to use and dried (usually through a freezing process) into dry coffee grounds. It is recommended to use instant coffee as a substitute if you do not have fresh ground coffee.
- Use stronger coffee to make the taste and aroma of the coffee in your frappé stronger.
Step 2. Soak your coffee in cold water overnight (cold brew technique and is optional)
The cold brew process takes about 12 hours. Follow the steps below to perform the cold brewing technique:
- Put 200 grams of coarsely ground coffee in a large bowl, and pour 960 milliliters of cold water into the bowl.
- Stir until all ingredients are well combined and refrigerate for 12 hours.
- Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and place the filter or coffee filter paper on top of another bowl. Gently pour the coffee solution over the filter and allow the solution to filter. Discard the coffee grounds and remove the filter.
- Coffee made through cold brewing is usually very strong. Therefore, dissolve ground coffee with water using a ratio of 1:3 or 1:2 (coffee:water). Refrigerate the solution for up to one week.
Step 3. Use the cold brewing technique with ice (optional)
This technique is also known as the Japanese-style iced coffee technique and the process can be done much faster than the previous technique. Follow these steps to use the Japanese-style cold brewed coffee technique:
- Use a kitchen scale to measure ice weighing approximately 230 grams.
- For 30 milliliters of iced coffee, use approximately 1.8 grams of roasted coffee beans.
- Grind the coffee beans to a powder with a medium-coarse texture. For 480 milliliters of iced coffee, you need to use 30 grams of coffee grounds. One tablespoon is approximately equal to 5 grams of coffee grounds.
- Put ice in a large glass and cover the hole with coffee filter paper.
- Brew the coffee with hot water, then pour the brewed coffee into a glass through coffee filter paper.
- Keep in mind that not all of the added ice will melt, but you'll end up with a cold cup of coffee.
Step 4. Add sweetener to your coffee
To quickly dissolve, add a sweetener (eg, sugar) while your coffee is still hot. Add two tablespoons of sugar, honey, stevia sugar, or any other type of sweetener you like.
If you use a coffee maker to brew coffee, you can pour the sweetener directly into the coffee pot and stir it
Step 5. Cool your coffee
If you are using hot brewed coffee, the fastest cooling method will take about 20 minutes. There are several ways you can cool your brewed coffee:
- Use an ice mold. Pour your coffee into ice molds and place in the cooler until the coffee freezes. This method can take a few hours, but it can maintain the strength of the aroma and flavor of the coffee because you don't need any additional ice for your frappé later.
- Use a frying pan. After you brew the coffee, pour the brewed coffee into a wide, flat pan, and let the coffee cool. Using this method, your hot coffee will be poured into a container with a large surface area, so the temperature of the coffee can drop faster than coffee that is kept in the carafe. Significantly cooling coffee with this method can take about 20 minutes.
- You can also place the pan in the cooler for about 20 minutes until the coffee has cooled completely.
- You can also pre-cool the pan to speed up the cooling process of the coffee.
Step 6. Make your frappé
Put your cold coffee in a blender and pour in 120 milliliters of milk. You can use plain milk (cow's milk), soy milk, almond milk, or any other type of milk you like.
Step 7. Add ice to your frappé (optional)
Keep in mind that if you cool (freeze) your coffee in an ice mold, you don't need to add any more ice. For the first, add about 360 milliliters of ice.
Keep in mind that the more ice you add, the thinner your coffee will be, so the taste won't be as strong
Step 8. Mix all ingredients until smooth
Put the lid on the blender and mix all the ingredients until smooth. You can add more ice if you want a thicker texture.
Step 9. Serve your frappé
Pour the frappé mixture into a tall glass. You can pre-cool the glass in the cooler for a few minutes if you prefer. Garnish the top of your frappé with whipped cream and serve with a straw.
Method 2 of 2: Get creative with Frappé
Step 1. Make a pumpkin flavored frappé
If you want a delicious frappé with an autumn flavor, add a few extra ingredients and make a pumpkin pie frappé. The materials you will need are:
- teaspoon vanilla extract
- teaspoon pumpkin spice (condiment for making pumpkin pie consisting of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, Jamaican pepper, and cinnamon), puree
- 120 milliliters of instant coconut milk (unsweetened, and don't use canned coconut milk)
- Two tablespoons of whipped cream
- One cinnamon stick, finely mashed
- Add vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and coconut milk to your frappé base mixture, then garnish the top with whipped cream and a little cinnamon powder.
Step 2. Make a blended hazelnut frappé
If you like the sweet taste of hazelnuts, you will surely love to add hazelnut flavor to your frappé. Add 60 milliliters of hazelnut syrup and 120 milliliters of vanilla extract to your frappé base mix.
Garnish the top of the frappé with whipped cream and cinnamon if you like
Step 3. Create a chocolate sensation on your frappé
Try making a double chocolate chip frappé by adding chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Add 40g of chocolate chips to the frappé base mixture. You can use milk chocolate chips, medium sweet chocolate chips, or dark chocolate chips for an interesting variation.
- Add 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup and 2 milliliters of vanilla extract, then mix all ingredients until smooth.
- Coat the inner walls of the glass with chocolate syrup and pour your frappé into the glass. Top with whipped cream, and pour the chocolate syrup back over the whipped cream layer.
Step 4. Make a frappé with a touch of vanilla flavor
Use coffee beans or ground coffee with a vanilla scent. Add one to two scoops of vanilla ice cream to your frappé base mixture and mix until smooth.
- For a delicious, creamy froth on top of the frappé, add whipped cream drizzled with caramel syrup.
- Add a few drops of vanilla extract for a stronger vanilla flavor.
- Garnish the top with whipped cream.
Step 5. Make a traditional Greek frappé
You just need to put three tablespoons of instant coffee, 1-4 tablespoons of sugar (according to taste), a little water and milk (if you like) in a shaker bottle and shake the bottle. Pour the frappé into a tall glass filled with ice and serve with a straw.
Step 6. Get creative
Add a scoop of your favorite flavored ice cream to make a thick milkshake frappé. You can also add a scoop of chocolate chip and mint ice cream for a refreshing sensation from the chocolate and mint frappe. Also, try cutting up crunchy sweets (for example, teng teng peanut) and tossing them into the mix to add a crunchy sensation to your frappé, or add 30g of grated coconut to your frappé. There are many options you can try. Mix and match your favorite flavors to make the perfect glass of frappé.
Tips
- Don't be afraid to experiment with the amount of water, milk, and sugar you use. You may need to try making the frappé several times until you find a composition that suits your taste.
- You can use an empty flask instead of a shaker if you don't have one.
- For a stronger taste, replace the coffee with two cold espresso shots.
- Use a refrigerated glass or mug to keep your frappé cold for a longer time.
- If you are sensitive to coffee that is too strong, use a ratio of 1:3 (coffee:water) or greater to dissolve the coffee before you add sweetener.
- If you don't want the frappé to be runny, you don't need to add any more ice.
- Use whole milk (low-fat milk) or creamed milk to make a thick, rich-tasting frappé.
- If you don't want to brew fresh ground coffee, you can use the leftover coffee in the pitcher.
- For a cooler frappé, add another 60g of ice.
- Enjoy it slowly and don't just gulp down your frappé. To enjoy frappé, you need to drink it slowly. Sometimes it takes two to three hours to finish one glass of your frappé.
- Therefore, it's a good idea to serve your frappé with a glass of cold water. That way, if you've used up all of the liquid frappé and only the soft foam remains, you can pour some water into the glass, stir it, and get back to enjoying your coffee.
