A refreshing and creamy homemade version of Starbucks’ Pink Drink made with hibiscus tea, freeze-dried strawberries, and creamy coconut milk. Perfect for a sweet, light, and tropical treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 hibiscus tea bags
  • 2 cups (480 ml) water
  • 1/4 cup (20 g) freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) simple syrup
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Lime wedge

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 cups (480 ml) of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add 2 hibiscus tea bags. Let steep for 8–10 minutes until the water turns a deep pink-red color. Remove the tea bags gently to avoid bitterness.
  2. While the tea is still warm, stir in 1/4 cup (20 g) freeze-dried strawberries. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes if in a hurry.
  3. Once the tea is cool, add 3 tablespoons (45 ml) simple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Stir well to combine and adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut milk. Stir gently until the drink turns a pastel pink and the coconut milk blends smoothly.
  5. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the pink drink over the ice. Optionally garnish with a lime wedge or frozen strawberries. Serve chilled.

Notes

Avoid adding coconut milk to hot tea to prevent curdling. Use canned coconut milk for creamier texture or carton for lighter version. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or lime wedge. Store refrigerated up to 2 days and stir before serving.
