We were waiting for summer, because summer is sun, sea, freedom, sandals and T-shirts, light sundresses and short shorts, cool glasses and golden tan. And in some places plus forty. And so every year: we wait for the heat, then to look for coolness, a source of thirst quenching, an option to quickly bring the body into a functional state ...

The easiest way is drinks. For several years now, many hot drinks have been turned into refreshing ones during the summer heat. They energize, give freshness and literally revive on a particularly hot day. Plus, they also help you have a good time.

If cold tea with us it is quite common, then iced coffee is only gaining its popularity.

The most famous cold coffee drinks in the world are:

Italian Cappuccino Freddo/ Cappuccino Freddo: cold milk whipped with a mixer and chilled espresso. Milk-free option (stricter Italian classic recipe) - espresso + crushed ice - called Espresso Laccino/ Espresso Laccino.

Espresso Granita con Panna/ Espresso Granita con Panna: frozen and sliced ​​espresso with sweetened whipped cream.

Ice Latte/ Iced Latte: cold milk-coffee latte.

Mocha frappe/ Mocha frappe: cold tart creamy mocha with chocolate syrup, grated chocolate and whipped cream.

Coffee frappe/ Coffee Frappé.

In general, frappé is translated from French as “hit, hit”, which instantly refers us to crushed ice. It turns out that frappe is, in principle, any drink, the basis of which is not water, but ice crumbs.

Coffee frappe Is a variety of cold thick cocktails that include coffee, ice cream, cold milk, a variety of fillings and fruit and berry syrups.

The history of the drink

The story - at least according to legend - of the emergence of this drink seems rather amusing. In 1957, at the annual international fair in Thessaloniki, Nestlé represented New Product for kids - chocolate drink, which was prepared by dissolving the powder and mixing it in a shaker with milk.

Company employee Dimitrios Vakondios used to drink instant coffee. During one of the breaks during his work at the fair, he wanted to make himself his favorite drink, but could not find hot water, so he came up with the idea of ​​using a shaker to make coffee.

He took instant coffee, granulated sugar and water, stirred up the whole thing in a shaker, and the first coffee frappe appeared to the world. Over the years, he argued that he still cannot understand how a simple experiment led to the most famous cold drink in Greece.

In general, it has recently become customary to combine coffee, ice and cream, calling it different words. So, putting frappe and cappuccino together, Starbucks coined and patented the word frappuccino.

According to the Internet, frappuccino is one of the ten most popular non-alcoholic cocktails the world.

Abroad of our Motherland cold coffee is already practically ranked among the "cult", and in summer time When ordering coffee from the waiter, you will have to clarify: cold or hot?

In our country, iced coffee is just beginning to win hearts. It is quite justifiably called a “fusion” drink: everyone prepares it in their own way, without a definite classic recipe.

True, traditional coffee frappe includes the following essential ingredients:

- doppio (double espresso from 14 g of fine coffee and 50-60 ml of water);
- milk (3.0-3.5% fat, cold) - 100 ml;
- ice cubes - 3-5 pieces;

Obviously, the secret to a delicious coffee drink depends on the "right" espresso.

A classic espresso recipe: a seven-gram coffee tab, nine barometric pressure, ninety-degree water and thirty milliliters of espresso, which will be ready in thirty seconds.

Because tasty coffee we prefer to drink in Tucano, we went there in search of a cool coffee frappe.

V Tucano Coffe we were not only offered to try Frozzyccino(own original name coffee frappe), but also talked about the stages of its preparation.

We even managed to follow the process, and now we will tell you everything.

Cooking secrets

"In order to Frozzyccino was a truly aromatic coffee drink, we only use live espresso! A drink is considered alive if its foam has not ceased to “shrink”, that is, 1-2 minutes after extraction. ”

Frappé admits the most wide range additives. “In winter, it is better to use“ heavy ”ingredients: chocolate, ice cream, honey, nuts. In the summer - fruit and berry ", - told us the chief barista Ivan.



Serve Frozzyccino follows in an irish glass or a tall glass for cocktails, always with a straw.

Looking at the menu, we learned that this summer Tucano coffee offers, in addition to the classic, three more varieties: mint, caramel and strawberry Frozzyccino... The cost of any of them is 33 lei on the spot or 30 if you take it with you.

We, in turn, are glad that this refreshing, invigorating and very tasty coffee drink is gaining popularity here.

Cooling invigorating drink on a hot summer day - what could be better? Some people know that iced coffee is very good at quenching thirst.

The difference between frappuccino and frappe is the presence of ice cream in the frappuccino. Americans are able to drink this drink, despite the fact that it is cold, in any weather and at any temperature.

Over time, modified versions of this delicious coffee drink appeared - they began to add milk, cream, cinnamon, less often mint or lemon to its composition. Now recipes for this drink with alcohol - rum or cognac have already been developed. Among the modified frappuccino recipes, there are also flavored cubes.

Gourmets believe that coffee should be drunk slowly, however cold frappe drink quickly as the frozen cubes begin to melt. In this matter, amateurs traditional coffee and the frappe lovers disagree.
