Equipment

Ingredients

2 teaspoons instant coffee
2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons water cold
2 tablespoons evaporated milk see note 3
½ cup water cold
ice cubes

Instructions

In a jar or cocktail shaker, add the instant coffee, sugar and enough cold water to just cover the coffee and sugar - around 1-2 tablespoons (see note 1).
Close the lid and shake vigorously for around a minute until the mixture is foamy and thick.
Half fill a tall glass with ice. Add the evaporated milk and 1/2 cup cold water (see note 2).
Pour the coffee mixture over the top and serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

You can use any jar or container with a lid to shake the mixture. A mason jar works well, as does a small plastic container.
For a classic Greek frappe, add your coffee mixture to the glass FIRST, then top with milk and water to taste. I just like the nice layered effect when adding the coffee last.
An authentic Greek frappe contains NoyNoy milk, which is similar to evaporated milk - sweet, rich and creamy. NoyNoy can be found at Greek grocery stores. If you can't find NoyNoy or evaporated milk, the best alternative is half and half or whole milk.
