You dont have to add so much sugar if you don't want to 😊 people don't like sweet stuff, and some people do. Everyone has their own tastes and preferences! I hope you can find a suitable measurement of sugar for your tastes!
This is what we call “frappe” in Greece! It’s a staple for the summer. We just add coffee milk and sugar , but some times I drink without anything else but coffee. It is great refreshing and very cheap coffee.
I was looking for this comment. Frappes are great! I did enjoy having them with everyone at night. Haha... Before dinner... Which was really late at night.
if you don’t have a frother just assemble it all in a water bottle and shake then when ready for ice, pour bottle content into glass and add ice + milk. i saw a russian girl do this exact routine like 40 shorts ago
As a Greek I was about to get into the comment section to add my insight about this drink. Surprised to find out people already know about Greek frappe.
Yeah, I don't go over a Tablespoon for a bigger cup, even when going over 30 oz, it's a good amount for about 24 oz tho and I drink at most one in a day over a long period of time because I drink slow or I share with my hubby. 2 Tbsp is nuts. We don't use regular sugar tho.
i first made this as a child back in the summer of 2001. i didn't know about vanilla extract yet back then instead i added a very bit of hershey's choco syrup into the mix to make it appeal to my younger siblings. i loved it so much that i had too much. my head ached badly and i can feel my heart pounding real hard. i couldn't breathe well for like an hour. learned about caffiene the hard way.
Frappe was discovered in Thessaloniki Greece in the 1950s and even won an award for ingenuity in some italian food convention. Fredo espresso was also a greek invention. Greeks just love swirling their coffees and adding ice lol
Love how dalgona comes and goes from the interwebs. The rest of us were making this back in 2020, except for a lot of Hispanics whose grandmothers made the stuff long long before that.
Wow, i am now also fully convinced that if you take 2 tablespoons of instant coffee, combine that with 2 more tablespoons of hot water and 2 tablespoons of sugar, a splash of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and then froth it together till it becomes one fluffy coffee concotion, add a little bit of ice, some of your favorite milk, before mixing it all together, that i will have learned the best way to make instant coffee. (I had to watch the short 20 times for this lol)
@@LibertarianVisionRussia Yeah, I make iced coffee regularly with instant coffee and don't go over a Tablespoon for a bigger cup. I also add a decent amount of heavy cream and a lot of almond milk. That's generally all the caffeine I drink in a day.

How, May I ask , has a coffee changed your life. I been drinking coffee for 50+yrs, I’m sure I qualify. ROFL looks good! And I never heard of this either. 😊
I don't care if anyone's going to look down on me for this, but this kind of makes me miss general foods international coffees! I think that was the brand. The Swiss coffee was my favorite! And I think the French vanilla too. Those got me through some long nights in college staying up for art projects and typing papers! For this here, part of me would want to add in a couple of spoonfuls of hot cocoa powder mix and maybe even some cinnamon! 😋😋😋
This is similar to how i make my coffee ✊🏻 it's the best! Been doing it for yrs and it became my go to when i just want to relax at home or im just craving for it. 10000/10!
@@clothar23 of course they use, you just ask for it. In Greece you metnion how you want your coffee, frappe, fredo espresso, etc. So, when you order, you say with milk, or else it's without. Fan fact, in frappe they put concentrated milk only!
@@just_another_bot0110not for every coffee, but because frappe is so popular , a bunch of people want it when going out. It is usually a lot cheaper than other coffees but it is true that a lot of coffee shops abuse it and charge it like other coffees and that’s sad.
We Greeks have been doing this for decades, minus the vanilla and salt this is my daily beverage in the summertime! But now I want to try vanilla and salt 🤔
Add the sugar before adding the hot water. It will prevent the hot water from burning the instant coffee. If you can add another teaspoon of room temperature water with the sugar it would be even better!
@@petervos111ifyInstant coffee is instant coffee. It is what it is. However, ideally boiling water shouldn't be used for instant coffee. The intense temperature supposedly could ruined the flavour and aroma. Not that I can tell the difference. I've seen the instruction on some of the instant coffee brands. Though, I'm not sure about adding the sugar part.
Tbh I think he adds too much sugar for my taste too, one tbsp is enough, that said instant coffee being notoriously bitter being balanced with salt is helpful. That’s why regular coffee - single origin, single bean type, uniform grind setting - tastes less bitter as you have more control over it. Re: heat - isn’t warm water not too hot to drastically affect the taste of the coffee
I tried this, it tastes amazing! Ended up a little too strong the first time because I frothed the coffee too much and didnt have as much room for milk, but it was still some of the best coffee I've had in a while!
@@bywonline 2 tablespoons of instant coffee at a time in a cold drink that u would probably guzzle in 5 minutes? I get jittery and irritable with just 1 teaspoon.
Been drinking coffee without sugar for a while now and am so grateful, there is no need for it, working on using no milk or cream to really set myself up for better success.
I was at a summer camp and these kids have so much energy that I was always keeping an eye on them, I never had time to make a good cup of coffee. It was black or no coffee. I now drink black coffee. Some coffee tastes better with sugar but I like some coffee better black.
@@emrald9963 black coffee for the win!! I'd always crash out from the sugar after it wore off, can't do it anymore due to working night shift now, not trying to get fired for burning out and smacking the floor on the job 😆😆 Kids at camp nowadays certainly seem like they're dosed up on at least a pot of coffee a day I swear 😆 I can only imagine what it's like to work around them with all of that energy 😰
My standard morning coffee is instant coffee dissolved in cold milk. Leave for a few minutes and stir occasionally. Add a splash of cream. I usually make it the evening before and store it in the fridge overnight. The instant coffee does dissolve in cold milk, it just takes a little bit longer.
This is what im drinking now, i use half water since i drink soo much! Plus some chocolate syrup i can drink this all day i try to only have one or two 😂 solid food? 😮 whats that 😅
But why not just pour the slightest bit of boiling water to melt it? Your method sounds like it would waste time. 20ml of water won't even be noticeable to matter.
@@ElusiveTy I usually make it the day before, wasting no time. I don’t think it would be faster to boil the water, dissolve the coffee then add the milk in time I’m actually spending making the coffee.
@ElusiveTy add milk first and dissolve the coffee then add hot water, takes like 2 minutes of stirring to dissolve the coffee in cold milk but I make instant coffees every day and putting boiling water in first gives it more of a burnt taste, milk first is the way to go if you want an instant coffee to taste as good as it can.
Save your water bottle fill halfway with water freeze it. Add in an instant coffee stick or two, sweetener of choice & and water shake for one minute, then fill with creamer. Not fancy, but same as result.
Hmm, a protein shaker-type bottle or regular tumbler that you can reuse for this purpose is fine too - I understand that you want to make the washing up and process less of a hassle and simple, but if you want to do this frequently, you can still avoid unnecessary exposure to microplastics while reducing the number of unnecessary cleaning required from the video. But I like your way of thinking.
I think someone once told me cold water or room temp is better for at least a splash. Stir hard to start the instant coffee dissolving, then add the hot water. The cold water offsets the heat so you dont burn the granules, which is often what makes instant coffee taste awful
What I usually do is put the coffee in, put desired amount of sugar, cold milk, mix it very very thoroughly, then put a small amount of hot water, mix again thoroughly then add rest of hot water
I’m pretty convinced this is all placebo. My ex was convinced of this, I would make the coffee both ways and ask her whether I put cold milk in first or hot water. She never consistently got it right
Instant coffee is definitely under rated. I put two scoops with a cup made by my crap K cup machine. Then a spoon full of instant espresso. Fill the rest with heated milk. Good enough for me.
every once in a while this is alright. would add calories for a daily drink so maybe keep it to the weekends. it’s okay to eat sugar in moderation. also saying that 10g of sugar would even remotely increase your chances of diabetes is just wrong. especially if you’re generally a healthy person
Sugar doesn't cause diabetes, saturated fat from animal products does. Our bodies and cells run on glucose, not fat or protein, but glucose. Sat fat blocks the cells ability to draw in glucose.
My mom told me this when I was a kid, she would put instant coffee, sugar and chocolate, put some water 30 secs on the microwave and then mix with a fork until light brown and then add the milk, so good!!
That "little bit of vanilla extract" pour has the same vibe as the "two shots of vodka" meme

never knew there was a name for this. I've been making it for years. though sometimes I add maple syrup instead of sugar.
I don't care if anyone's going to look down on me for this, but this kind of makes me miss general foods international coffees! I think that was the brand. The Swiss coffee was my favorite! And I think the French vanilla too. Those got me through some long nights in college staying up for art projects and typing papers!
For this here, part of me would want to add in a couple of spoonfuls of hot cocoa powder mix and maybe even some cinnamon! 😋😋😋
They still have them. I buy them. I'm 40 and to me it's fancy. 😂😂😂
@@katharine2435 Ooh, really?! Sweet!
And yes! Definitely fancy! 😂🙌🤗
I totally forgot about the GF International coffee! It was in a rectangular metal tin, I think.
@@miriamofsanik981 Yes! And the commercials were so fun!
Omg they were amazing. I think they're still out.
I watched and then immediately made some. I have to agree it's awesome.
This is similar to how i make my coffee ✊🏻 it's the best! Been doing it for yrs and it became my go to when i just want to relax at home or im just craving for it. 10000/10!
That’s how Greeks been drinking coffee for 60 years now , it’s called frappe 🇬🇷🇬🇷
Man it's called frappe. We make that in Greece from the 1970s, 80s.
Last time I checked the Greeks didn't use milk in their version.
@@clothar23 of course they use, you just ask for it. In Greece you metnion how you want your coffee, frappe, fredo espresso, etc. So, when you order, you say with milk, or else it's without. Fan fact, in frappe they put concentrated milk only!
@@ottinannaithat’s super cool I didn’t know that!!
You guys use instant coffee at a coffee shop? I'm sorry
@@just_another_bot0110not for every coffee, but because frappe is so popular , a bunch of people want it when going out. It is usually a lot cheaper than other coffees but it is true that a lot of coffee shops abuse it and charge it like other coffees and that’s sad.
“Sir, there’s some coffee in my ice.”
I feel like we’re missing the whole instant idea at this point 😂 looks delicious tho
That's just Greek frappe with milk instead of water 😂
I make my Greek frappe with milk anyway.
Yeah it’s frapogalo
My mom made this when she was back in university 25 years ago but, of course, not as fancy. Glad to see people still drinking this :)
Same here. I'm from Argentina and this has existed forever. I'm 35 and remember making coffee this way for my parents when I was little.
@MiauMichigan I am 52 and I made it for granpa in the 70's in Rosario
We Greeks have been doing this for decades, minus the vanilla and salt this is my daily beverage in the summertime! But now I want to try vanilla and salt 🤔
I've got to try this🤯
Add the sugar before adding the hot water. It will prevent the hot water from burning the instant coffee. If you can add another teaspoon of room temperature water with the sugar it would be even better!
How can boiling water ever be hot enough to burn instant coffee?
@@petervos111ifyWait till he finds out the coffee is already roasted 😂
@@petervos111ifyInstant coffee is instant coffee. It is what it is. However, ideally boiling water shouldn't be used for instant coffee. The intense temperature supposedly could ruined the flavour and aroma. Not that I can tell the difference. I've seen the instruction on some of the instant coffee brands. Though, I'm not sure about adding the sugar part.
Tbh I think he adds too much sugar for my taste too, one tbsp is enough, that said instant coffee being notoriously bitter being balanced with salt is helpful. That’s why regular coffee - single origin, single bean type, uniform grind setting - tastes less bitter as you have more control over it.
Re: heat - isn’t warm water not too hot to drastically affect the taste of the coffee
this is complete horseshit lmao
I tried this, it tastes amazing! Ended up a little too strong the first time because I frothed the coffee too much and didnt have as much room for milk, but it was still some of the best coffee I've had in a while!
Bro just brought that whipped coffee trend from like four years ago back😭
Westerners finally finding the miracle called Greek frappe
The little face at the bottom right of the glass when he put the ice😂😂😂
is so saaaaad
it go like "バニラエキスが多すぎ :("
Frrr i was about to comment that 😂😂😂
I tried this and it was soooo goood! Taste like lattes that I get in coffee shops. It was perfect! Not too bland, not too strong and not too sweet!
If I'm going to do all that, I'm just gonna get brewed coffee! 😂
"A little bit of ice"
"Two shots of vodka"
Μολις εφτιαξες φραππε μπράβο🎉
That's the exact same thing I thought, I lived in Greece for 8 years 😂. Sorry I don't have the Greek Letters installed on my Keyboard.
That much instant coffee would send 30 pre-schoolers to climbing the walls. It sounds delicious!😋
@@bywonline 2 tablespoons of instant coffee at a time in a cold drink that u would probably guzzle in 5 minutes? I get jittery and irritable with just 1 teaspoon.
@@bywonline LOL. I'm a rule breaker.😊
You're probably absolutely right that looks absolutely delicious if I had a throfter I'd try it
Nah, I'm fully convinced that you just made Greek Frappe with extra steps.
My brother taught me to this recipe and it really is the best way❤
My sister taught me this recipe, and it really is the best way
I did this for probably two years straight, simple, easy, you can tune it to your taste, amazing.
My man just discovered the Greeks secret for chill life - ladies and gentlemen, the Frappe!
First bit of that is just my secret to surviving the night shift
Been drinking coffee without sugar for a while now and am so grateful, there is no need for it, working on using no milk or cream to really set myself up for better success.
I was at a summer camp and these kids have so much energy that I was always keeping an eye on them, I never had time to make a good cup of coffee. It was black or no coffee. I now drink black coffee. Some coffee tastes better with sugar but I like some coffee better black.
@@emrald9963 black coffee for the win!! I'd always crash out from the sugar after it wore off, can't do it anymore due to working night shift now, not trying to get fired for burning out and smacking the floor on the job 😆😆
Kids at camp nowadays certainly seem like they're dosed up on at least a pot of coffee a day I swear 😆 I can only imagine what it's like to work around them with all of that energy 😰
@@mr.whitcraft6322 ☕️
What's even the point of drinking coffee then? That's just bitter brown water
@@_Amarin pure coffee without sugar or cream/milk is actually better for you so don't knock it till you try it 🤷
So preety much greek frappe with a twist
"Instant coffee" proceeds to stir for next 10mins
Nice, I will use less sugar, but it is nice to see this
My standard morning coffee is instant coffee dissolved in cold milk. Leave for a few minutes and stir occasionally. Add a splash of cream. I usually make it the evening before and store it in the fridge overnight. The instant coffee does dissolve in cold milk, it just takes a little bit longer.
This is what im drinking now, i use half water since i drink soo much! Plus some chocolate syrup i can drink this all day i try to only have one or two 😂 solid food? 😮 whats that 😅
But why not just pour the slightest bit of boiling water to melt it? Your method sounds like it would waste time. 20ml of water won't even be noticeable to matter.
@@ElusiveTy I usually make it the day before, wasting no time. I don’t think it would be faster to boil the water, dissolve the coffee then add the milk in time I’m actually spending making the coffee.
@ElusiveTy add milk first and dissolve the coffee then add hot water, takes like 2 minutes of stirring to dissolve the coffee in cold milk but I make instant coffees every day and putting boiling water in first gives it more of a burnt taste, milk first is the way to go if you want an instant coffee to taste as good as it can.
Save your water bottle fill halfway with water freeze it. Add in an instant coffee stick or two, sweetener of choice & and water shake for one minute, then fill with creamer. Not fancy, but same as result.
Hmm, a protein shaker-type bottle or regular tumbler that you can reuse for this purpose is fine too - I understand that you want to make the washing up and process less of a hassle and simple, but if you want to do this frequently, you can still avoid unnecessary exposure to microplastics while reducing the number of unnecessary cleaning required from the video.
But I like your way of thinking.
“Screw you”
*un-instants your coffee*
ive been doing it this way for years i dont understand how this is mindblowing
I once tried that and the coffee flavor was absolutely intense, not in the good way, and also was fucking sweet 😭 I throw that away
This is what us Cypriots have been drinking for years😂
Ναι λογικά μόνο οι τζυμπριοτς πίνετε φραπέ
Wow great discovery, can’t believe you taught me something so new like this in 2024
Perfect example as to why I never ask for ice in my drinks whenever i’m out, went from being a shot of coffee to a full glass because of pure ice
I think someone once told me cold water or room temp is better for at least a splash. Stir hard to start the instant coffee dissolving, then add the hot water. The cold water offsets the heat so you dont burn the granules, which is often what makes instant coffee taste awful
What I usually do is put the coffee in, put desired amount of sugar, cold milk, mix it very very thoroughly, then put a small amount of hot water, mix again thoroughly then add rest of hot water
@@Freevo_Lowse that would do it, too! Definitely need to temper cold milk first, so a little bit of the hot water to start is perfect
I’m pretty convinced this is all placebo. My ex was convinced of this, I would make the coffee both ways and ask her whether I put cold milk in first or hot water. She never consistently got it right
Dissolving it in a bit of cold water definitely tastes way better.
Instant coffee is definitely under rated.
I put two scoops with a cup made by my crap K cup machine. Then a spoon full of instant espresso. Fill the rest with heated milk.
Good enough for me.
"A little bit of ice"
- Fills 80% of the cup with ice
Bro gave me a whole side quest
That’s enough vanilla to power an entire Christmas season
10g of sugar, the right way to diabetes 🤸
Funny how most of commenters like you freak out at 10 grams of sugar and then go straight up and eat a cheesecake or snickers
This recipe actually has 30g of sugar.
every once in a while this is alright. would add calories for a daily drink so maybe keep it to the weekends. it’s okay to eat sugar in moderation.
also saying that 10g of sugar would even remotely increase your chances of diabetes is just wrong. especially if you’re generally a healthy person
Sugar doesn't cause diabetes, saturated fat from animal products does. Our bodies and cells run on glucose, not fat or protein, but glucose. Sat fat blocks the cells ability to draw in glucose.
@@LiveYourLife229bro he used 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 TABLEspoons. Aint no way to modorate that shit
Two table spoons of coffe wow
If I ever make instant coffee i would like it to be instantly available 😂
My mom told me this when I was a kid, she would put instant coffee, sugar and chocolate, put some water 30 secs on the microwave and then mix with a fork until light brown and then add the milk, so good!!
Dude just described GREEK frappe 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
CooOoOoFffFe ExpPapppeeRTtt😅
isnt this the covid coffee we were all drinking
it's Greek frappe and has been around for like 70 years
This is my new addictive drink. I make it a little different but it is soooooo good 👍
The only thing I would do differently is adding the ice cubes last, makes it easier to mix but looks great!
I'm not the only one who salts their coffee 🥳
i’ve gotten back into making dalgona coffee, shit is fire. 2020 was a wild year
Frappé. I mean, which sounds more like a coffee name, frappé or "dalgona"?
This guy: "Hey check out this instant coffee recipe!"
Greece: Γεια σου
I wonder if the glass straws are too hard to clean,our own rice straws are disposable, have a nice color and are environmentally safe.
oh I loved this recipe in 2020 brings so many memories
Dalgona coffee?
With a splash of vanilla and salt :)
Dal.. go.. na.. coffee.. 😱😱😱 (ptsd from lockdown)
Adding vanilla to my coffee really makes it taste like one fresh desert and also keeps me from sleeping 😂
Me who eats dry instant coffee to save time 🤓
