Equipment

  • Drink mixer you can also use a mason jar, to shake your coffee

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee
  • 2 teaspoons sugar see notes
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) cold water
  • 3-4 ice cubes
  • Additional cold water
  • cold milk optional

Instructions

  • In your frappé shaker, combine the instant coffee, sugar and 1/4 cup cold water.  Seal well and shake, shake, shake.  You will magically create a thick froth.  The longer and more enthusiastically that you shake, the thicker and more plentiful your froth will be.
    2 teaspoons instant coffee, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1/4 cup (60 mL) cold water
  • Pour the froth into a glass which contains your ice (usually about 3 – 4 ice cubes).  Fill your shaker with a little more cold water.  Swish it around so that any remaining froth which is clinging to the sides is mixed into the water. Pour this into your glass.  Add as much water as you like, allowing for some room if you will also add milk
  • Add a straw and enjoy.

Notes

Although we do not add any sugar in our hot coffees;   we do find the sugar in cold coffee is really good.
