While the term "frappe" is French and means 'to chill', it's in Greece where this frothy delight really made its mark. The Greek version of the frappe was invented in 1957 at the International Trade Fair in Thessaloniki. An employee of the Nestle company, Dimitris Vakondios, was looking for a way to have his usual instant coffee during his break but could not find any hot water. Instead, he mixed the coffee with cold water and ice in a shaker. This improvised experiment quickly became popular, and it's how the frothy version of iced coffee that we love today was born. Now, isn't it fascinating how a moment of resourcefulness can lead to an enduring legacy?
