In a small mixing bowl or glass, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and cold water.
Using a hand mixer or milk frother, beat the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and frothy. This mixture is known as 'dalgona' or whipped coffee base.
In a blender, add the ice cubes and cold milk.
Gently pour the whipped coffee mixture into the blender with the milk and ice.
Add the vanilla extract to the blender.
Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 30 seconds or until the ice is well-crushed and the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Pour the frappe into a tall glass.
Top with whipped cream if desired.
Drizzle chocolate or caramel syrup over the whipped cream for an extra touch.
Serve immediately with a straw.
