Today, October 7, 2014, is National Frappe Day. A Frappé is a Greek foam-covered iced coffee drink made from instant coffee. A Frappe was accidentally invented in 1957 in the city of Thessaloniki. It is now the most popular coffee among Greek youth and foreign tourists. The word frappé is French and comes from the verb frapper which means to 'hit'. However, in French, when describing a drink, the word frappé means chilled, as with ice cubes in a shaker. I tried to make this without success!
