While coffee is king for Greeks at breakfast, you won't be surprised to learn that here, too, Greeks have made the world’s most common morning drink their own. The traditional way, of course, is to ask for a Greek coffee – slowly brewed on ashes (or a gas flame) and sipped until a satisfying sludge of ground coffee beans has revealed itself at the bottom of the cup. But popular culture demands that you also discover the frappé – instant coffee whizzed up with water, milk and sugar that was once a breakfast staple. The more common go-to morning coffee for Greeks today (not just in the summer) is an iced freddo espresso or freddo cappuccino. As for your sugar preference, ask for sketo (plain), metrio (medium) or gliko (sweet). If you are more of a tea person, brews of peppermint, linden, chamomile, sage, lovage or other mountain herbs are often on offer. And for the last item of your Greek breakfast menu … a freshly squeezed orange juice, of course.
