Iced Cappuccino

This freddo cappuccino has a double espresso shot and frothy skim milk topping.

Canadians call it an Iced Capp – but as Helena and Vikki Moursellas attest, the iconic Iced Cappuccino is popular worldwide. “Coffee is a big part of Greek culture, and locals are known to spend hours sipping away on the same drink,” the sisters write in their cookbook, Peináo: A Greek Feast for All. “Our Greek cousins are baffled at how fast we drink our coffee, but just like any coffee order, it’s a personal preference of how you like it.” They like their iced coffees made freddo – using espresso coffee and topped with frothy skim milk.
