Βήμα προς βήμα

1. 1

   Brew two shots of fresh espresso directly into a tall glass or a cocktail shaker.

   Περίπου 1 λ.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: For the most authentic taste and best foam, use freshly ground coffee beans and a high-quality espresso machine. The crema on top of fresh espresso contributes to a stable foam.

2. 2

   Add the sugar, if desired, and 20 ml of cold water to the freshly brewed espresso.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: Adjust the sugar to your preference; traditional Freddo Espresso can be unsweetened, medium-sweet (metrio), or very sweet (glyko).

3. 3

   Add 2-3 ice cubes to the espresso mixture in the glass or shaker.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: Adding a few ice cubes at this stage helps to chill the espresso quickly, which is crucial for achieving a thick, stable foam.

4. 4

   Using a hand-held milk frother or an espresso mixer, vigorously whisk the espresso mixture for 15-20 seconds until a thick, rich, and light brown foam forms.

   Περίπου 1 λ.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: The key to a perfect Freddo Espresso is the robust foam. Whisk until the volume significantly increases and the foam is dense enough to hold its shape.

5. 5

   Fill a separate serving glass completely with fresh ice cubes.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: Use plenty of ice to ensure the drink stays cold and refreshing for longer. Larger ice cubes melt slower.

6. 6

   Carefully pour the frothed espresso mixture over the ice in the serving glass.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: Pour slowly to maintain the distinct layers of foam and liquid. The foam should sit proudly on top of the iced coffee.

7. 7

   Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, foamy Freddo Espresso.

   Σημείωση του μάγειρα: A long spoon or straw can be provided for stirring, though many prefer to sip through the foam.
