Interestingly, the concept of blended coffee drinks dates back to the Middle East, where coffee was a staple beverage. In the 19th century, coffeehouses in Syria and Lebanon would blend coffee with ice and milk to create a refreshing summer drink, which eventually inspired the development of the modern frapp.

In some parts of Europe, such as Greece and Cyprus, frapps have become an integral part of the summer culture. In these countries, frapps are often flavored with coffee, vanilla, or chocolate, and topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. The tradition of enjoying frapps on hot summer days has been passed down through generations, and many families have their own secret recipes.

Did you know that some coffee shops around the world have created unique frapp flavors inspired by local ingredients? For example, in Japan, you can find matcha-flavored frapps, while in India, cardamom-flavored frapps are a popular twist. These creative variations not only showcase the versatility of the frapp but also highlight the diversity of global coffee cultures.
