A freddo cappuccino is a type of cold coffee beverage that originated in Greece and is a popular variation of the traditional cappuccino, which is served hot. It is also called Greek cappuccino or a Greek coffee with cold milk foam. The name "freddo" comes from the Italian word for "cold". The drink is made by combining iced espresso with frothed cold milk and (optionally) a sweetener. It is often served in a tall glass and can be topped with a dollop of whipped cream, cinnamon, or chocolate powder. The freddo cappuccino is alternatively finished with a layer of cold, foamy milk. To make a freddo cappuccino, you can start with freshly pulled espresso shots on ice, or use instant espresso powder instead, which requires hot water. You can add sugar to the espresso after it’s prepared, but purists will tell you that leaving the drink unsweetened will better allow the coffee’s aroma and flavor to shine. Finally, resist the urge to stir the milk and espresso together once you top the glass, as drinking a freddo cappuccino with distinct layers allows the milk to shine.
