Ingredients

• 2 tsp instant coffee (classic granules)
• 2 tsp Sugar (optional)
• 200 ml very cold water
• 4 ice cubes
• 2 tbsp evaporated milk or milk (optional)

Method

1. Put the coffee, sugar (if using) and 3 tbsp of the cold water into a cocktail shaker, a jar with a lid or a tall glass.
2. Shake hard for 30 seconds, or whizz with a milk frother, until it turns into a thick, pale foam that fills half the glass.
3. Pour into a tall glass, add the ice cubes and slowly top up with the rest of the cold water.
4. Add milk if you like, stir gently and drink through a straw.

Tips

• Order it like a Greek: sketos (no sugar), metrios (equal coffee and sugar) or glykos (double sugar).
• The milk is optional; leave it out, or use oat milk, to keep it vegan and dairy-free.
