Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup hibiscus tea, cooled
- 1/2 cup berry juice (such as acai or mixed berry)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp freeze-dried, fresh, or frozen blackberries
- 1 handful ice cubes
Instructions
- Add Blackberries and Ice: Place 2 tablespoons of freeze-dried, fresh, or frozen blackberries into a large glass, then add a handful of ice cubes to chill the drink effectively.
- Pour Hibiscus Tea: Slowly pour 1 cup of cooled hibiscus tea over the ice and blackberries, providing a vibrant floral base for the drink.
- Add Berry Juice: Pour in 1/2 cup of berry juice to introduce a sweet and tangy berry flavor that complements the hibiscus tea.
- Top with Coconut Milk: Finish the drink by adding 1/2 cup of creamy coconut milk, giving the beverage a smooth texture and balancing the tartness from the other ingredients.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir gently if desired and serve immediately to enjoy a refreshing and colorful Purple Drink inspired by Starbucks.
Notes
- You can use fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried blackberries depending on availability and preference.
- Adjust the amount of coconut milk for a creamier or lighter texture.
- Use unsweetened hibiscus tea and berry juice for a lower sugar version.
- Ensure hibiscus tea is fully cooled before mixing to avoid melting the ice too quickly.
- Add a sweetener like honey or agave syrup if a sweeter drink is desired.
