Iced Brazilian Coffee Recipe
This an iced Brazilian coffee recipe that I found in my grandmother’s kitchen alchemy book. It is a variation with a special touch from my country. Try it out!
A long time ago, there used to be a tea house in Rua Augusta, São Paulo Brazil that my family loved. They had this “coffee smoothie, called “Frapê de Café”. My mother usually ordered it with hot grilled ham and cheese croissant sandwiches…
After a while, the habit of going to tea houses became old-fashioned and, unfortunately, we lost some of that Victorian glamor and charm. Luckily recipes remained to help us redeem them.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of strong prepared hot Brazilian coffee
- 1 pinch of carnation spice, or a head (to taste)
- 1 pinch of powdered cinnamon
coffee mixture
- 1 tray ice cubes
- 1/2 (5 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup milk

Wow! That coffee sounds tasty! I never knew Brazil had its own specialty coffee drink. Thanks for sharing this.
Brazil has always been a place I would like to visit. Any time I can get a little taste of the cuisine in my own kitchen, It is great. Look forward to more recipes like this one.
Hello, Tom,
That Brazilian coffee drink recipe is, actually, an adaptation of a traditional formula. Brazilians just changed it with some of our most used spices for desserts.
Thanks for stopping by to share you thoughts and support.
