Ingredients
1-2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1-2 teaspoons sugar (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup cold water
Ice cubes
(Optional) Milk or cream to taste
Instructions
In a shaker or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cold water.
Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes frothy and light brown.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Pour the frothed coffee mixture over the ice.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cold water and stir gently.
Optionally, top with milk or cream to taste.
Serve immediately with a straw.
Tips
For a thicker foam, use a milk frother or blender instead of shaking.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sugar.
To make a frappé without a shaker, whisk the coffee, sugar, and water vigorously in a bowl until frothy.
