  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 2 Strawberry Acai Tea Bags
  • 2 cups Water

Flavor & Sweetness

  • 2 tablespoons Freeze-Dried Strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons Simple Syrup or Honey (adjust to taste)

Creamy Component

  • 1 cup Coconut Milk (preferably full-fat)

Additional

  • Ice Cubes (as needed for serving)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brew the Tea – Start by steeping the strawberry acai tea bags in 2 cups of hot water for about 5 to 7 minutes until the tea is rich and fragrant. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool completely before proceeding.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Simple Syrup – If you don’t have simple syrup on hand, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved completely, then let it cool before using. This syrup sweetens the drink smoothly without any grainy texture.
  3. Step 3: Combine Ingredients – In a large glass or shaker, mix the cooled strawberry acai tea, 1 cup of coconut milk, 2 tablespoons of simple syrup or honey (or your preferred sweetener), and a handful of freeze-dried strawberries. Stir or shake gently to blend the flavors while preserving the texture of the freeze-dried strawberries.
  4. Step 4: Add Ice – Fill the serving glass generously with ice cubes and pour the combined mixture over the ice to keep the drink refreshingly cold.
  5. Step 5: Final Touches – Give the drink one last gentle stir to allow the flavors to meld and prepare to enjoy your vibrant Homemade Pink Drink Refresher.

Notes

  • Use Cold Brewed Tea: For quicker prep, brew the tea overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Adjust Sweetness Gradually: Add sweetener slowly to preserve the natural fruit flavors.
  • Fresh Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Maintain texture and flavor without diluting the drink.
  • Opt for Full-Fat Coconut Milk: Achieves a creamy and rich mouthfeel.
  • Chill All Ingredients: Keeps the drink refreshing for longer.
