Print Recipe

A light and creamy pink drink made with hibiscus tea, fresh strawberries, and coconut milk, perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 hibiscus tea bags (for about 4 cups / 960 ml brewed tea)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (sliced or whole)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned or carton coconut milk
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons simple syrup, honey, or agave nectar (adjusted to taste)
  • Ice cubes (plenty)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Bring 4 cups (960 ml) of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat, add 4 hibiscus tea bags, and steep for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove the tea bags and stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener while the tea is still warm. Let the tea cool completely to room temperature.
  3. Rinse and slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries (or thaw frozen ones). Add the strawberries to a blender or mixing bowl if using an immersion blender.
  4. Add about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of the cooled hibiscus tea to the strawberries and blend until smooth to create a concentrated berry puree.
  5. Pour the strawberry puree back into the pitcher with the remaining hibiscus tea. Add 1 cup (240 ml) of creamy coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice if using. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the pink drink over the ice. Stir gently before serving.

Notes

Do not over-steep hibiscus tea to avoid bitterness. Cool tea completely before adding coconut milk to prevent curdling. For a smoother drink, strain to remove strawberry seeds and pulp. Use full-fat canned coconut milk for richer texture or carton coconut milk for a lighter version. Adjust sweetness to taste. Fresh lime juice is recommended for brightness. Can blend entire mixture with ice for a frozen slushy version.
