What is a frappe?
While the frappe known in the United States refers to a type of blended iced coffee drink you can get at coffee shops, the original word frappe referred to the Greek frappe drink. The Greek Frappé is a foam-covered iced coffee drink made of instant coffee, sugar, ice cubes and water. The frappé was named after the French word “frapper” meaning “to hit” just as ice does when mixed with a drink and shaken.
