How to make a delicious "Coffee Frappe" this summer

Authentic Coffee Frappes are really simple to make, delicious, and cost a few cents to make....time to impress your friends!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• coffee granules (eg Nescafe)
• sugar (optional)
• cold milk or chilled water
• small hand blender

1. Take a tall straight glass, and put in a spoonful of coffee granules (about the same amount you would use in a cup of hot coffee).

2. Add sugar as desired (I prefer to add sugar, as it not only tastes better, but helps to make the Frappe really creamy!)

3. Put in a small amount of cold water (enough to just cover the coffee and sugar in the glass)

4. Take your hand whisk, and blend the contents of the glass until it gets thick and creamy

5. Now you can choose whether you want a milky Frappe (pour cold milk slowly into the glass until nearly full) or a water based Frappe (slowly pour in chilled water until nearly full)

6. Give a little stir to the contents of the glass, pup in a drinking straw (optional) and hey presto - a perfect, cafe style Frappe for a few cents.

Tips & Warnings

• I find that using a hand whisk with the small 'wand' attachment is the best for blending the water + coffee + sugar
