One of the drinks that you should have more during the hot days is a frappe. But you don’t have to hit the mall in scorching heat to relish a glass of coffee. Here are 5 frappe ideas for you that you can whip up within 5 minutes, as long as you follow the steps below. Most of the ingredients are right there in the kitchen cabinets so there is no need to fuss over buying anything online.
A frappe is made with four simple ingredients: coffee shot, milk, ice and sugar. It may contain some syrup too. Finally, you may add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. A lot of people ask if a frappe is the same as a milkshake. Here’s what we think: both the drinks are creamy, rich and thick. But a milkshake is often just a drink without a coffee shot while a frappe makes use of ice cream and a coffee shot.
