What is a mocha frappe? (Sta je moka frape?)

A mocha frappe is a cold drink based on coffee and chocolate, usually made with milk, ice, coffee and cocoa powder or chocolate topping. It is known for its rich taste that combines the bitterness of coffee and the sweetness of chocolate.

Where does mocha frappe come from?

Mocha comes from Yemen. The name comes from the historic port of Mocha on the coast of the Red Sea, through which coffee was exported for centuries. That's why the name "mocha" became known all over the world. Over time, the term "mocha" began to mean a combination of coffee and chocolate, so the mocha frappe was born as a cold version of that taste.

Types of mocha frappe:

1. Classic mocha frappe - coffee, chocolate, milk and ice.
2. Mocha frappe with whipped cream - a classic version with a generous layer of whipped cream.
3. Dark mocha frappe - with dark chocolate or more cocoa powder.
4. White mocha frappe - prepared with white chocolate instead of dark or milk chocolate.
5. Caramel mocha frappe - addition of caramel topping with coffee and chocolate.
6. Mocha frappe with hazelnut - enriched with hazelnut flavor or hazelnut spread.
7. Protein mocha frappe - with the addition of protein powder.

Odakle potiče moka frape?

Moka (Mocha) potiče iz zemlje Jemen. Naziv dolazi od istorijske luke Mocha na obali Crvenog mora, kroz koju se vekovima izvozila kafa. Zbog toga je naziv „moka” postao poznat širom sveta. Vremenom je izraz „moka” počeo da označava kombinaciju kafe i čokolade, pa je odatle nastao i moka frape kao hladna verzija tog ukusa.
