Coffee and Caffeine FAQ

Frappe is mostly a summer coffee and generally come in 3 types: "sweet", "mediocre" and "heavy".

For the sweet one you need 2 teaspoons of sugar for every coffee teaspoon, for the mediocre you need equal sugar and coffee and for the heavy you need 2 coffee teaspoons for every sugar one.

How many you will actually use depends on your glass size and your preference. For a usual long water glass (which is commonly used for frappe) you need (for the mediocre one) 2 coffee teaspoons and 2 sugar teaspoons.

Note that this recipe describes howto make the coffee with a shaker and not with a mixer.

Now on to the preparations:
[1] Put the sugar, the coffee, a little bit of water enough to top the sugar and coffee and one ice-cube.
[2] Shake it until the coffee and sugar are mostly dissolved. Don't shake too much or the mixture will become mostly foam. Don't shake too hard or the ice-cube will brake your shaker :p
[3] When all this is done pour the mixture in a long water glass, add two or three more ice cubes and water enough to fill the glass
[4] If you want you can add a little bit of milk
[5] Add a straw and go out on your balcony and enjoy the sun!
