Print Recipe

A creamy and refreshing homemade version of the Starbucks Pink Drink using full-fat coconut milk and freeze-dried strawberries for a tropical twist and natural berry flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed and chilled hibiscus tea (or berry herbal tea)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water
  • 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup or agave nectar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh strawberries or a few whole freeze-dried strawberries (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brew and chill the hibiscus tea: Steep 1 hibiscus tea bag in 1 cup (240 ml) of hot water for about 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and let the tea cool to room temperature, then place in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the strawberry infusion: In a medium bowl or mixing glass, crush 2 tablespoons of freeze-dried strawberries using the back of a spoon until mostly powdery. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water to the crushed strawberries and stir well. Let it steep for 5 minutes.
  3. Mix the creamy pink drink: Add the chilled hibiscus tea, 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut milk, simple syrup (or agave nectar), and vanilla extract into the strawberry mixture. Stir or shake vigorously until well combined and the color turns pink.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness or creaminess by adding more syrup, water, or coconut milk as needed.
  5. Serve over ice: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the creamy pink drink over the top. Garnish with fresh or freeze-dried strawberries if desired.
  6. Enjoy immediately. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours; stir before serving again.

Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess. Crushing freeze-dried strawberries into powder and steeping in water releases natural color and flavor. Adjust sweetness carefully to avoid overpowering. Shake or stir well before serving if coconut milk separates. Leftovers keep up to 24 hours refrigerated; avoid freezing.
