做法
分步操作
- 1
Brew two shots of fresh espresso directly into a tall glass or a cocktail shaker.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
烹饪提示： 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.
烹饪提示： 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.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
烹饪提示： 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.
烹饪提示： 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.
烹饪提示： A long spoon or straw can be provided for stirring, though many prefer to sip through the foam.

妥善保存
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.
