A refreshing, tangy, and creamy pink drink made with passion tea, coconut milk, lemonade, and strawberries. Perfect for hot summer days, this healthy beverage is light, flavorful, and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 passion tea bags (or about 1/4 cup loose leaf)
  • 2 cups water (475 ml)
  • 1 cup canned full-fat coconut milk (240 ml)
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemonade (240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup or 1/4 cup pureed fresh strawberries
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Sweetener (optional) – honey, agave, or stevia to taste (start with 1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and add 3 passion tea bags. Let steep for 5-7 minutes until the water turns a deep reddish-pink color.
  2. Remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature. Optionally, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to speed cooling.
  3. If using fresh strawberries, blend 1/4 cup (about 4-5 strawberries) with a tablespoon of water or lemonade until smooth. If using syrup, measure 2 tablespoons.
  4. In a large pitcher, mix the cooled passion tea, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 cup lemonade, and the strawberry syrup or puree. Stir or blend gently until well incorporated and pastel pink in color.
  5. Add honey, agave, or stevia to taste, starting with 1 tablespoon and adjusting gradually.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the pink drink over. Stir gently before serving. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh strawberries if desired.

Notes

Steep passion tea for 5-7 minutes to avoid bitterness. Use full-fat canned coconut milk for best creaminess. Chill components separately before mixing to prevent separation. Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid overly sweet drink. Serve over plenty of ice. Store leftovers in refrigerator up to 2 days and stir before serving.
