On hot days, nothing feels better than a cold drink that delicious. Frappes, milkshakes, and frappuccinos are three popular drinks that help you cool down and enjoy something sweet. They are made in different ways, but all three are fun, creamy, and full of flavor. When you sip one of these drinks, you taste more than just cold sweetness – you enjoy a little moment of happiness.
What is a frappe?
A frappe is a cold, blended or shaken beverage, often made with coffee, ice, and milk, and sometimes includes sugar or other flavorings. The term “frappe” originates from the French word meaning “iced” or “beaten,” and it typically involves creating a frothy texture through shaking or blending. Frappes can be made with various bases, including coffee, tea, juice, or even hot chocolate. They are typically blended or shaken to create a frothy consistency.
