Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (full-fat preferred for creaminess)
- 1/2 cup brewed hibiscus tea, cooled
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup or puree (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (for serving)
- Fresh strawberries or edible flowers (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Brew the hibiscus tea: Boil 1/2 cup (120 ml) water and steep 1 hibiscus tea bag for 5-7 minutes. Remove the tea bag and let it cool completely (about 10-15 minutes).
- Mix the base: In a blender or large mixing glass, combine 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut milk, the cooled hibiscus tea, and 1/4 cup (60 ml) water.
- Add sweetness and flavor: Add 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup or puree, 1 tablespoon cane sugar (or preferred sweetener), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend or whisk until smooth and well combined. Adjust sweetness if desired.
- Chill and serve: Fill a glass or pitcher with ice cubes, then pour the creamy pink drink mixture over the ice. Stir gently to chill evenly.
- Garnish and enjoy: Top with fresh strawberry slices or edible flowers if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use full-fat coconut milk for best creaminess. Brew hibiscus tea for 5-7 minutes for optimal flavor and color. Cool tea completely before mixing to avoid curdling. Adjust sweetness to taste. Serve immediately over ice to prevent dilution. For a frothier texture, blend with ice cubes for a few seconds. Hibiscus tea can be brewed a day ahead and refrigerated to deepen flavor.
