Description

This Strawberry Pink Drink is a creamy and refreshing homemade beverage made with fresh strawberries, coconut milk, and chilled green tea. Lightly sweetened with maple syrup and enhanced with vanilla extract, this drink is a vibrant pink, perfect for summer. Inspired by the popular café-style pink drink, it combines fruity and creamy flavors for a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional)
  • 1/2 cup ice

Liquids

  • 1 cup chilled coconut milk
  • 1 cup chilled green tea

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Brew Green Tea: Brew the green tea using your preferred method and allow it to cool completely. Chill the tea well before proceeding to the next steps to ensure a refreshing drink.
  2. Blend Strawberries and Sweeteners: Add the fresh strawberries, maple syrup (or agave), and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and well combined.
  3. Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
  4. Prepare Glass: Fill a large glass with ice to keep the drink cold and refreshing.
  5. Layer the Drink: Pour the chilled green tea into the glass first, followed by the strawberry mixture and then the chilled coconut milk. This layering helps keep the colors vibrant before stirring.
  6. Mix Gently: Stir the drink gently until all ingredients are combined evenly, resulting in a creamy and evenly pink beverage.
  7. Add Garnish: If desired, sprinkle freeze-dried strawberries on top for added texture and visual appeal. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and coldness of the drink.

Notes

  • Use coconut milk from a carton for a lighter consistency or canned coconut milk for a richer and creamier drink.
  • Increase the amount of fresh strawberries if you want a stronger berry flavor in your drink.
  • Keep the green tea well chilled before mixing to ensure the drink is cool and refreshing.
  • For a caffeine-free version, substitute the green tea with herbal tea or strawberry-flavored tea.
