Let me give then the coffee usually drunk by Greeks, which is different from Greek Coffee (or Turkish, depending on which country you are).
This is an iced coffee, also called Φραπέ or Φραπές, from the french verb Frapper, which means to beat/shake.
A teaspoon (or more, depending on taste) of coffee, preferrably Nescafe or equivalent instant coffee, sugar to taste, and a little bit of water in a shaker. Shake it (or stir it) until it's mixed well, then add lots of ice cubes, milk to taste, and complete with cold water. Add a straw to it, and you have a good cold coffee to drink for an hour or two, while you are either doing your work, or just relaxing. A glass of water is also recommended, as with most coffees.
Be aware that this is usually drunk in the areas that the temperature is rarely below 20 Celsius, so I wouldn't suggest it for the colder countries.
