A quick and easy homemade version of the Starbucks Pink Drink, combining creamy coconut milk with strawberry acai tea and freeze-dried strawberries for a refreshing summer beverage.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • 2 strawberry acai tea bags
  • 2 cups (480 ml) water
  • 1 cup (240 ml) canned full-fat coconut milk
  • Ice cubes
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 cups (480 ml) of water to a boil. Pour over 2 strawberry acai tea bags in a heatproof container. Let steep for about 5 minutes until the flavor is rich but not bitter. Remove the bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
  2. Place about 1/4 cup of freeze-dried strawberries in a blender or food processor. Pulse until they become a fine powder. If you don’t have a blender, finely crush them in a sealed bag with a rolling pin.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea with the strawberry powder. Stir well until the powder dissolves and the tea turns a bright pink shade. Taste and add more powder if desired.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of simple syrup (or your preferred sweetener). Adjust to taste.
  5. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of full-fat coconut milk to the tea mixture. Stir gently to combine until the drink turns creamy and pastel pink.
  6. Fill serving glasses or cups with plenty of ice cubes.
  7. Pour the creamy pink tea over the ice. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use freeze-dried strawberries for concentrated flavor without watering down the drink. Let the tea cool completely before adding ice to avoid dilution. Full-fat coconut milk provides the best creamy texture. Adjust sweetness gradually. The drink can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 48 hours; add ice and garnish just before serving.
