Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (75g) freeze-dried or fresh strawberries (about 4–5 medium fresh strawberries)
- 1 cup (240ml) brewed hibiscus or Passion Tango tea, cooled
- 1/2 cup (120ml) canned full-fat coconut milk, shaken well
- 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup, honey, or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup (240ml) ice cubes or crushed ice
Instructions
- Brew the tea: Steep 1 tea bag of hibiscus or Passion Tango tea in 1 cup (240ml) of hot water for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and let it cool completely (about 15-20 minutes).
- Prepare the strawberries: If using freeze-dried strawberries, measure 1/2 cup (75g). If fresh, wash and hull about 4-5 medium strawberries. Freeze fresh strawberries for a thicker texture or use fresh for a lighter drink.
- Blend the drink: In your blender, combine the cooled tea, strawberries, 1/2 cup (120ml) full-fat coconut milk, and 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (simple syrup recommended). Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Add ice: Add 1 cup (240ml) of ice cubes or crushed ice to the blender. Blend again for 10-15 seconds just until the ice is incorporated but the drink stays frothy and creamy.
- Taste and adjust: Give it a quick taste. Add more sweetener if desired or a splash more tea if it’s too thick. Blend briefly to mix any additions.
- Serve immediately: Pour into a clear glass or mason jar, garnish with a fresh strawberry if desired, and enjoy.
Notes
Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Cool the tea completely before blending to avoid watery texture. Freeze fresh strawberries for a thicker, colder drink. Simple syrup blends best for smooth sweetness. Avoid over-blending after adding ice to maintain frothy texture. Shake coconut milk well before measuring if separated.
