Frappé Coffee

Frappé coffee is tied to the postwar trade fairs in Thessaloniki and became Greece's everyday answer to a hot summer day. Instant coffee is shaken with a little water into a foam, then diluted with cold water and ice, so the craft lies less in brewing than in judging the shake. Served in a tall glass with ice stacked from the bottom, it is drunk slowly down through the foam at the top.
