Greek Frappe
Instant coffee, sugar and a splash of water shaken or blended into a thick foam, poured over ice and topped with milk.
Where it comes from
The standard account places its creation at a 1957 trade fair in Thessaloniki, where a Nescafe representative with no hot water on hand shook instant coffee with cold water instead.
What cooks argue about
The foam is the argument: shaking by hand or in an old mixer gives a stable head that lasts, while a blender or milk frother works faster but collapses sooner.
Versions
Nobody has published a greek frappe here yet. When somebody cooks one from a video and publishes it, their version appears in this list, with a link back to the original.
