Category: The drinks

Kitchen: greek

Ingredients
Cold water for whipping	20 ml.
Powdered sugar (optional)	1 tsp
Instant coffee	2 gr.
Ice
Ice water or milk to the edge of the glass
Milk (optional)
Tall glass

Cooking method

• Video (below) must be watched !!!
• Coffee lovers as well as hypotensive patients
  (like me)

  even in the heat they cannot live without coffee. But is coffee always drunk hot?
• Pour some cold water into a tall glass. If desired, add powdered sugar (sugar is poorly soluble in cold water). Then, using a special mixer (shaker, cappuccinator), beat the mixture until high foam appears. When a lush foam is obtained, add ice and water or milk to taste.
• A great-tasting refreshing frappe is ready!
• This taste has become another incomparable discovery for me!
• Now for some fun!
• To the fiery rhythms of sirtaki, I suggest you look at how you can whip a frappe using an ordinary cocktail straw!
• Do not judge strictly, please - the hands did not obey well, as the priest and legs were dancing.
• The entire film crew with this statement confirms that not a single Greek was hurt during the filming! All the props are real and trembling human hands

  ... The coffee is drunk, the goodies are eaten. Husband's hands beat up much better, but flatly refused to act. His coffee in the photo is almost twice as foamy as the drink.

Note

By the way, sirtaki (from the Greek συρτάκι - touch) is so popular in the world and one of the symbols of Greece, in fact, it is not folk. Although it is a combination of slow and fast versions of hasapiko - an ancient dance of warriors. It was created in 1964 for the film "The Greek Zorba". The sirtaki dance itself, as well as the music for it, written by the Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, is sometimes called "Zorba's Dance". The choreographer of the film, and in particular of the dance of Zorba and Basil in the final scene, was Yorgos Provias.

The flower Marigold-Tagetes is also very popular in Greece.

The plant received the Latin name in honor of the son of Genius and the grandson of Jupiter - Tages (Taget). This character of ancient Greek mythology became famous for being able to predict the future. Tages was a boy, but his intelligence was unusually high and he had the gift of foresight. Tages appeared to people in the form of a baby, which a plowman found in a furrow. The child told people about the future of the world, taught them to read the entrails of animals, and then disappeared as unexpectedly as he had appeared. The predictions of the baby god were recorded in prophetic books and handed down to posterity.



What is known about frappe?
Frappe is a purely Greek invention, and in no other country has it taken root very much. And it's a pity, as we have hot days. And the frappe appeared by chance. In 1957, at the International Exhibition in Thessaloniki, the Greek representative of the Nestle company presented a new product - a chocolate drink for children, which was whipped with milk. One of the employees of the Greek office, Dimitris Vakondios, was a fan of instant coffee. One day during a break, he wanted to drink coffee, but he did not have hot water. Then he decided to try making coffee with cold, and whipped all the ingredients in a shaker. This is how the world's first frappe came about!

How to drink frappe

The frappe categories are about the same as those of Greek coffee - sketos, metrios, glycos. That is, black, medium sweet and sweet. With or without milk.
The word frappe is of French origin, meaning whipped, mixed.A French frappe is usually a cold cocktail made with milk, ice cream or fruit. Greek frappe is sometimes also served with ice cream, but this is only an addition. The Greeks changed the French word for themselves, and in Greek frappe is called ο φραπές - a masculine word, by analogy with the word "ο καφές" - coffee.
How to order frappe
It is very easy to order frappe in a cafe. Here are some phrases you might find useful:
Ενα φραπέ σκέτο, παρακαλώ [Ena frapE sketo, paracalo] - If you just want a black frappe with water without additions.

Frappe with sugar-free milk should be ordered as follows: Ενα φραπέ σκέτο με γάλα, παρακαλώ [Ena frape sketo me gala, paracalO]
Ενα φραπέ μέτριο (γλυκό) με γάλα (χωρίς γάλα) [Ena frape metrio (glyco) me gAla (choris gAla)] - Frappe with a medium portion of sugar with milk (no milk)

Ενα φραπέ παγωτό, παρακαλώ [Ena frape pagotO paracalo]
- Frappe with ice cream addition

Add cold water as you drink.
With loud delight, drink lovers empty the glass of appetizing foam. It is fair to say that instant coffee is not very useful, so one a day is enough.
I highly recommend you try this drink in order not only to enjoy the taste, but also to prepare it. It is very interesting!

A. How can you cook it from a cooled one? I do not drink completely soluble
Threat in Rome they do this in a coffee shop ... sclerosis, maybe I remember :-) :-) :-)
Remembered !! Sant Eustachio :-) :-) :-) they make a great cold whipped coffee frappe al cafe! This is something !!!

[Irisha]

Urrraaa! I am the second for a cold coffee!
Already in the morning, without wiping my eyes, I also rolled a cold cup. But certainly not as refined as yours, Irisha, but the usual one .. Now I’ll take another sip of yours, so I’ll probably wake up!

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik, eucharisto that reminded the recipe
Elena, I make from custard (for me, too, instant-fuuuuuu), cool and beat in a blender with ice and milk.

A. How can you cook it from a cooled one? I do not drink completely soluble

Elena, well, from boiled chilled this is no longer frappe!

I do not drink completely soluble

I also do not drink AT ALL! But this one will be!

Well, you see, then you like it too!

Urrraaa! I am the second for a cold coffee!
Already in the morning, without wiping my eyes, I also rolled a cold cup. But certainly not as refined as yours, Irisha, and the usual one .. Now I’ll take another sip of yours, so I’m sure to wake up!

how great, but I have not gone to bed yet!
great that you are with me on a coffee break!

Tumanchik, eucharisto that reminded the recipe

Paracalο Ksyusha
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm sure that with the help of devices it will turn out to be better to beat, but it's so cool to use a current with a straw!

: girl_cray: I love coffee !!! Irishka thanks for the interesting recipe, and the video) Cool !!!!

Iruska, great attempts _{natives lighting a fire} whipping foam with straws! And add, please, for those who have stupid player downloads, at what point coffee is added in the recipe.

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik, Irinka, what a picture is not a recipe!

And add, please, for those who have stupid player downloads, at what point coffee is added in the recipe.

Zhen, immediately pours into the water, then sah. powder

[Cool movie!]

Cool movie! I so want to try too.
And the information - a whole encyclopedia, in the evening I will reread it again.
My dad, when I was still very young, practiced almost such a trick, only without a straw.
Pour a spoonful of coffee powder, a spoonful of sugar into a cup and add a spoonful of cold water. Under a leisurely conversation, all this is carefully ground with a spoon until the sugar dissolves, then poured with boiling water.Outwardly, it turns out very similar to espresso - hot strong coffee with fluffy froth. By what routes this recipe reached him, I do not know - at that time he had never been to Greece or read the Internet.

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik, for completeness of the picture, it was nevertheless necessary to photograph the dancing ass and dancing legs on video!
And only instant coffee? Or is it possible to use natural, at least the one that is brewed in the cup?
The video is super! The drink is obviously super super too!

Ah, frappe, nostalgia for a trip to Crete, where this wonderful drink was served in local cafes. And how wonderful it helps to cool in the heat.
It's a pity I don't drink coffee now, but it's temporary. So I'll add the recipe to bookmarks :)

Thank you so much for reminding this recipe! Go to the site of a coffee shop in rome who loves coffee !!! There are so many sweets there :-) I remember just cooking it for a long time, probably 10 12 minutes :-)

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik,
The fall of the head is simple! I love coffee too! Sorry to see the video at work! But I will definitely do everything !!!

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik, Ira, I am also an avid coffee man. If you didn't drink coffee in the morning, you will live in vain
The video is just awesome, I liked it very much.
Did it, it turned out very tasty. Only for me 2 grams of coffee seemed not enough. But 4 grams is just right. Irochka, thank you very much for the frappe. A truly refreshing drink
It is also very tasty to beat kefir, coffee and powdered sugar in a shaker

Iraaa, I watched the video well, you are an inventor! All to the music! Blinsky, it's a pity the "dancing ass" is not visible

[IRA]

IRA, everything is simple and beautiful! The video smiled. Marigold is sooooo beautiful. Once at work I whipped a frappe in a plastic bottle, it turned out to be one foam, but we drank it too

Elya_lug-Elechka, Olka I- Olenka, Leka_s-Alyonushka, Premier-Olechka, Ninelle-Ninul, Venera007-Tanyusha, ElenaMK-Lenochka, Antonovka-Lenul, j @ ne-Zhenechka, lettohka ttt-Natasha, natalisha_031-Natashenka, natalisha_031- Ksyusha

and everyone who appreciated my undertaking as an actisa, thank you very much!
Of course I was very worried! As a result, the straw, hitting the piece of ice, fell out of the glass, which caused my indignation in the form of too high a note
But it turned out cool. We decided to leave - everything should be natural!
The drink was very good. Today I'm still going to get one-time sachets of instant, since only ground is at home. But the drink certainly "sticks in". It turns out very strong. And he reminded my husband of Coca-Cola.

it was still necessary to film the dancing ass and dancing legs

girls, I'd love to, but I'm afraid it won't give you aesthetic pleasure!

Did it, it turned out very tasty. Only for me 2 grams of coffee seemed not enough. But 4 grams is just right. Irochka, thank you very much for the frappe. A truly refreshing drink

about Natasha, funny. It probably depends on the coffee. We had some kind of German green - very strong. I would reduce the opposite. But still a super drink! Thank you!

Marigold is sooooo beautiful.

Oh dear Elechka, thank you for appreciating. I had to conjure up over it, but it turned out to be a very beautiful flower!

[Irishka,]

Nothing, threw messages, I don't have time around.
TECS, Irishka, I really respect coffee in all its manifestations. Current without sugar and without milk. I love bitter, and I am the most hypotonic person. I take this recipe for myself.
How beautifully drawn, I'll go re-read the text
PS thanks!

watched the video! Killed on a felling. And what kind of little straw device: two from one glass ?! Wonderful weight? I do not have such....

And what kind of a straw appliance:

Ksyushik, this is a very tricky and expensive device. Current is ordered on foreign sites. Patented and classified!

this is a straw, cut with scissors and straightened like a propeller

Achumet we are not afraid of the gray wolf! I'll make an order for such a thing.

I will make an order for such a thing

oh well look, so expensive ...

So much fun !!!!!!!! Thank you, Irish !!!

I had to conjure over him,

Tell me, I was glad that I would do the same. And he turns out to be not so simple!

[Irish]

Irish, thanks, made me smile! The video is cool, I imagined what was spinning and moving behind the scenes ...

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik,
Oh, Irishkin, I watched the video - super! And how you combined everything - both music and action with a super device Immediately I remembered an evening in Crete - and how I got entangled in my legs, dancing sirtaki

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik, video and music are lovely. enjoyed it!

My acquaintance with frappe happened two years ago. During a trip to Cyprus, to visit my colleagues there, I was presented with "Frappeshnitsa" - a device for making frappe. Now I use it almost every day, because the summer heat in our southern city is in no way inferior to the Cypriot
And coffee for frappe ... of course freshly brewed and chilled is beyond competition. But instant coffee is also not suitable for everyone - the Nescafe company produces a special "Coffee for frappe". Unfortunately, I haven't met him in our stores, so I usually order on Ebey, where it is sold under the same name

Irishka, how cool and cute everything is! And me and your magic pens were enough (without priests) to have fun. And the jumping straw with your voice accompaniment smiled. Here, too, instant coffee is not found in the house - only in beans. I will specifically ask my husband to buy it when he goes to town.
Ira, thank you! Boom is a must. And even an expensive instrument is lying around somewhere. The only thing left to do is to buy instant coffee.

Irish, is there no way without ice? Otherwise, I can't be cold at all.

Oh, I forgot to write! Tumanchik, special thanks for the marigolds! How beautiful it looks! It's so simple, but I didn't think of it myself. So you can dress any flowers in ice! Super!

So much fun !!!!!!!! Thank you, Irish !!!

Thank you Tanyusha! My husband came home from work and immediately turned on sirtaki ... my formidable warrior is dancing spying on

Irish, thanks, made me smile!

Oh, Irishkin, I watched the video - super! And how did you combine everything - both music and action with a super device

Tumanchik, video and music are lovely. enjoyed it!

Oh girls thanks! appreciated my debut! Oh, I'm not going to the kitchen now - I'm a superstar now

My acquaintance with frappe happened two years ago

Svetlana thank you very much for sharing! I will specially try ground freshly brewed, but as I read, they write everywhere that only granular instant is suitable for frappe. Even ground in soluble is not used.

Irishka, how cool and cute everything is!

Lyudmila thank you very much! How delighted I am for your feedback!

Irish, is there no way without ice? Otherwise, I can't be cold at all.

Oh Lyudochka, of course you can. You can just use water at room temperature.

special thanks for the marigolds! How beautiful it looks

Tell me, I was glad that I would do the same. And he turns out to be not so simple!

Oh my dears, thank you for noticing and appreciating. I first poured a little water and froze it. Then she dropped the flower and filled it with water. But the problem is that the flower is light and did not sink in water. What I didn't try is useless. In short, she crushed the ice and covered the flower, and then filled it with water. So it froze. Therefore, it did not stand even - there was not enough space in the form to pour another layer of water. Here's a secret! Now this is my favorite idea for freezing flowers for a photo!

Look !!! I have not missed all the most delicious! Well, an artist! It turned out great! Don't go to the kitchen for another two hours, you're a star! And coffee must be tasted! I will also buy portioned sachets! The truth with sirtaks will be more difficult!

Truth with sirtaks will be more difficult

what? and you like me - under the table!

Ir, even a cat will laugh with me !!

Ira, I can't even find words to express my admiration !! BRAVO!!!

You are our miracle!

Ir, even a cat will laugh with me !!

Well, where did you get it? maybe you can play for a couple?

Ira, I can't even find words to express my admiration !! BRAVO!!!

You are our miracle!

Did you like Irisha? I am so glad!

Ir, even a cat will laugh with me !!

Well, let him laugh - laughter prolongs life!

Now this is my favorite idea for freezing flowers for a photo!

Well, okay!
I used to decorate the cake with fresh violets. I lay it out beautifully and fill it with jelly. But the violet season doesn't last long. Last year I made a couple of attempts to freeze it for future use. And on dry, and after sprinkling with water, so as not to dry out - the result is not satisfied. I didn't fill it with water, they are tender, I decided that after defrosting they would become completely limp. And if you freeze dry, then you can pour the frozen jelly directly. All the same, the original appearance does not remain. This year I want to try to freeze them, immersed in jelly.
Tagetis, after all, are much "stronger" than violets and, apparently, are quite edible. They look really good on ice. Irish, tell us what happens to them after defrosting?

Irish, tell us what happens to them after defrosting?

Olya will defrost it especially for you today - I have not touched it yet, I took care of it. After the shooting, she poured it back into the mold and refilled the water in place of the melted

Ira, well done, that laid out this recipe - very refreshing in the heat! : girl-yes: Greeks drink it all day, sitting in their cafes. I wanted to return to the place where we drank it every day. They even, as I remember, had a special mixture for frappe. Well, I won't be able to return soon, so at least I will refresh my memories with your recipe!

Irish, tell us what happens to them after defrosting?

the shape is quite normal. but in color it darkened strongly. no bright orange.

Thank you.

while Tumanchik-Irishka is twisting a straw in the handles, let the peasants not sit https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=114&v=cBjpYXvV4EY

however, this is not a sirtaki dance, but Hasapiko (Greek χασάπικο; "butcher's dance") - a Greek folk dance that previously had a ceremonial and applied meaning and was performed as a military ritual. but peasants -

[Irina]

IrinaOh, good guys! I'll come home with a sound, I'll probably still have good ones!

From, Greeks! They even dance so as not to sweat.
