Ingredients

• 60 ml freshly brewed espresso (a double shot)
• 2 tsp Sugar (optional)
• 8 ice cubes

Method

1. Brew the espresso and, while it is hot, stir in the sugar if you take it sweet.
2. Put 3 ice cubes in a cocktail shaker or jar with a tight lid, pour in the hot espresso and shake hard for 15–20 seconds, until it turns pale and frothy.
3. Fill a tumbler with the remaining ice and strain the foamy coffee over it. Serve with a straw.

Tips

• Greeks order it sketos (no sugar), metrios (about 1 tsp) or glykos (2 tsp or more).
• A milk frother wand in a tall glass works if you have no shaker.
