Ingredients
Tea Base
- 2 passion fruit tea bags
- 1 teaspoon acai powder
- 1-4 tablespoons sugar or honey (optional)
- 2 cups unsweetened green tea
Fruit Puree
- 2 cups halved strawberries
- 1 cup mango, pineapple, or white grape juice (mango used)
- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries (optional)
Final Touch
- 3/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- Ice cubes
- 2-3 sliced fresh strawberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Tea Base: Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then remove from heat. Add the passion fruit tea bags and acai powder. Cover and steep for 5 to 10 minutes to infuse the flavors fully. After steeping, strain the mixture into a pitcher and stir in sugar or honey if desired, followed by the unsweetened green tea.
- Make the Fruit Puree: In a blender, combine the halved strawberries, mango juice, and freeze-dried strawberries if using. Blend until smooth to create a vibrant strawberry puree. Strain this puree into the tea mixture, stirring well to combine all elements evenly. Chill the combined strawberry acai tea in the refrigerator until cold.
- Assemble the Strawberry Pink Drink: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour 1 1/4 cups of the chilled strawberry tea over the ice. Add the unsweetened coconut milk and garnish with 2 to 3 sliced fresh strawberries. Stir gently to combine the layers and enjoy immediately for the best refreshing taste.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or honey or omit sweeteners for a natural flavor.
- Freeze-dried strawberries are optional but add a deeper strawberry flavor.
- The strawberry acai tea base can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Use any preferred juice such as pineapple or white grape for variation instead of mango.
- Ensure to blend and strain the fruit puree for a smooth texture.
