Print Recipe

A creamy, fruity, and refreshing pink drink inspired by Starbucks, made with coconut milk and freeze-dried strawberries for a tropical twist. Perfect for warm weather and easy to prepare at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed and cooled hibiscus tea
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/3 cup (about 30g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed slightly
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Brew the Hibiscus Tea: Steep 1 hibiscus tea bag (about 2g) in 1 cup (240 ml) of hot water for 5-7 minutes. Let it cool completely. You can refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes or add ice after steeping to speed cooling.
  2. Prepare the Strawberry Blend: Place freeze-dried strawberries (1/3 cup) in a blender or small bowl. Crush into smaller pieces using a spoon or pulse in the blender until a coarse powder forms.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a blender or shaker, add the cooled hibiscus tea, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut milk, 1-2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust sweetness), and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract if using.
  4. Mix Thoroughly: Blend on medium speed for 20-30 seconds or shake vigorously for about 30 seconds until the coconut milk is infused with the strawberry-tinged hibiscus tea, creating a creamy pink color.
  5. Add Ice: Fill a serving glass with about 1 cup or more of ice cubes. Pour the pink drink over the ice.
  6. Optional Strain: Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove strawberry bits for a smoother drink, if desired.
  7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to 24 hours and shake before serving.

Notes

Use good quality hibiscus tea for best flavor. Freeze-dried strawberries provide vibrant color and intense berry flavor without watering down the drink. Adjust simple syrup to taste or omit for a lower sugar version. Shake or stir well before serving if refrigerated. Avoid freezing as it changes texture.
