Freddo Cappuccino (Greek Iced Espresso with Cold Milk Foam)
A classic Freddo Cappuccino made with chilled espresso and thick cold milk foam. This Greek iced coffee drink is bold, smooth, and refreshing — easy to make at home with simple tools.
Equipment
- 1 Espresso Machine or moka pot / AeroPress — to brew strong coffee
- 1 Cocktail Shaker or jar with lid — for shaking and chilling espresso
- 1 Milk frother or handheld whisk — to create cold milk foam
- 1 Tall serving glass for serving
Instructions Cook Mode
- Brew espresso. Pull 2 shots of espresso and let cool for about 1 minute so it is hot but not boiling.
- Sweeten if desired. Stir sugar or syrup into the espresso until dissolved.
- Shake with ice. Add espresso and about 1/2 cup ice to a shaker or sealed jar. Shake hard for 10–15 seconds until lightly foamy and well chilled.
- Pour over ice. Fill a tall glass with the remaining ice and pour the shaken espresso over it.
- Foam the milk. Froth the cold milk using a milk frother, handheld whisk, or by shaking in a jar until thick and creamy.
- Top with foam. Spoon the cold milk foam over the espresso layer.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes
For best foam, use very cold milk and froth just before serving. Whole milk creates the thickest foam, but barista-style oat milk also works well. You can dust the foam with cocoa or cinnamon for extra flavor.
