Frappe, Greece's beloved iced coffee, traces its roots to a serendipitous creation at the 1957 Thessaloniki International Fair. It quickly became a staple in Greek cafés and homes alike, enjoyed year-round but especially cherished during the sun-drenched summer months. This version captures the essence of a Greek family kitchen, where olive oil, salt, and lemon are constants, though not part of this brew.
The frappe should be a frothy delight, with a robust coffee flavor balanced by the coolness of ice and the creaminess of milk. Sugar adjusts the sweetness to personal preference, creating a refreshing sip that invigorates the senses. Perfect for a leisurely afternoon, it's as much about the ritual as the taste.
