A frothy, bright, and thirst-quenching Greek iced coffee, prepared in a shaker with instant coffee, very cold water, and ice cubes. Serve it tall with a dense foam and, if desired, a splash of evaporated milk.
Ingredients
- 8 tsp instant coffee like Nescafé Classic
- to taste granulated sugar
- 800 ml cold water
- 24 pieces ice cubes
- 120 ml evaporated milk
Method
- Chill tall glasses while you prepare the coffee, until they are very cold to the touch.
- Put the instant coffee and sugar in a shaker or a jar with a lid, adjusting the sugar according to the desired style.
- Add just a splash of cold water, then seal and shake vigorously until you have a thick, beige, and glossy foam.
- Distribute the foam into the glasses without breaking it, using a spoon to help if it sticks to the sides.
- Add the ice cubes to each glass gently to keep the foam on the surface.
- Top up with cold water poured down the side of the glass until the coffee is ice-cold and the foam rises naturally.
- Add a splash of evaporated milk if you prefer a softer, rounder version, then stir very lightly from the bottom.
- Serve immediately, with a straw or a long spoon, while the foam is still high and the glass is frosted with condensation.
