Cappuccino Freddo

Written by Published on Updated on May 31, 2019 in Uncategorized

This is my all time favorite coffee, the Cappuccino Freddo, otherwise known as Iced Cappuccino Coffee.  During the summer I do love to drink cold java, but unfortunately I am not able to find this type of coffee in my neighborhood, only if I go into the city center where there is a Starbucks that sells something similar to this but not exactly the same.  So when I do go to Greece this is the first thing I buy once we enter the country. 

There is this lovely cafe in the first village after you enter the boarders that makes this delicious strong, and I seriously mean very strong coffee.  I don’t add any sugar into coffee but I do love to add a splash of Hazelnut Coffee Syrup, and this cafe has it all, so I spoil myself by adding a splash or two. hehehe (They basically have all the flavors like most cafes do in Greece)  So, the foamy milk is not really the last step my last topping is Cinnamon Powder, this just gives the coffee “a blow your mind out of this world taste”, at least to me it does. 🙂  Sounds good???   It absolutely is!!! 🙂  

Greeks do love coffee and this one along with the Freddo Espresso tend to be ordered more in cafes than the original Frappe. 🙂

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons or 1 – 2 shots of Espresso/Cappuccino
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Brown/White
  • Ice Cubes
  • Milk Low Fat
  • Tall Glass
  • Cinnamon
  • Milk Frother

Instructions
 

  • The tablespoons and/or shots depend completely on how strong you like to drink your coffee, and so since I do enjoy drinking strong coffee I use 2 shots. Set coffee aside for a while to cool off before adding into Ice cubes.
  • Add coffee into a tall glass filled with Ice cubes, along with the sugar. Stir until Sugar has completely dissolved. Since I don’t add sugar into my coffee but enjoy just a splash of syrup this is also up to you how sweet you drink your coffee.
  • Use a Frother to beat the milk until it becomes thick and foamy. Top off the coffee with foam and a dash of Cinnamon.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
