Elkészítés
Lépésről lépésre
- 1
Brew two shots of fresh espresso directly into a tall glass or a cocktail shaker.
Körülbelül 1 p
A szakács megjegyzése: 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
Add the sugar, if desired, and 20 ml of cold water to the freshly brewed espresso.
A szakács megjegyzése: Adjust the sugar to your preference; traditional Freddo Espresso can be unsweetened, medium-sweet (metrio), or very sweet (glyko).
- 3
Add 2-3 ice cubes to the espresso mixture in the glass or shaker.
A szakács megjegyzése: Adding a few ice cubes at this stage helps to chill the espresso quickly, which is crucial for achieving a thick, stable foam.
- 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.
Körülbelül 1 p
A szakács megjegyzése: 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
Fill a separate serving glass completely with fresh ice cubes.
A szakács megjegyzése: Use plenty of ice to ensure the drink stays cold and refreshing for longer. Larger ice cubes melt slower.
- 6
Carefully pour the frothed espresso mixture over the ice in the serving glass.
A szakács megjegyzése: Pour slowly to maintain the distinct layers of foam and liquid. The foam should sit proudly on top of the iced coffee.
- 7
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, foamy Freddo Espresso.
A szakács megjegyzése: A long spoon or straw can be provided for stirring, though many prefer to sip through the foam.

For an extra touch of creaminess, you can add a splash of plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk) to the frothed espresso before pouring it over ice, creating a Freddo Cappuccino Vegan. This drink is traditionally served without a straw, encouraging you to sip through the thick foam. Pair it with a light pastry or enjoy it on its own as a revitalizing afternoon treat.
Freddo Espresso is best enjoyed immediately after preparation. It does not store well as the foam will dissipate and the ice will dilute the coffee.
