Frappe coffee




Hey summer is on its peak. So why not try to make a yummy cold drink at home? What can be more interesting than a cup of frappe coffee to beat the heat!
So here is my method. It takes less than five minutes.

Ingredients:-
Milk-1 cup(250ml)
Cocoa Powder-1 tblsp
Instant coffee-1 tblsp
Sugar-2 teaspoon 
Ice-as per your need.

Take 1 teaspoon of warm water in a cup, and then add sugar and coffee to it.  Mix them into a thick mixture and beat it well with heavy hands for 4-5 mins. By now you can see something frothy has come up in the cup. Now take a grinder jar, put milk, cocoa powder, beaten coffee and ice in it. Turn the grinder on for 2-3 minutes. Your Frappe Coffee is ready. Serve it the way you like. For a more inviting look you can put some whipped cream on top of it or a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.

Note-You can also make it by just putting all the ingredients directly into the grinder. The taste will almost be the same, but I prefer to beat the coffee to get a smoother texture.

Also, if you have crushed ice, then you do not need to churn the ice along with the other ingredients. Before serving just put the ice in a glass and pour the coffee over it.
