Pineapple Matcha Starbucks Drink
Description
This pineapple matcha drink blends fresh or canned pineapple pieces with matcha powder and homemade coconut milk, producing a creamy and refreshing beverage. The matcha contributes a vibrant green color and earthy undertone, balanced by the bright sweetness of pineapple. Ground ginger powder adds a mild spice, enhancing the complexity.
Blending until smooth and optionally straining pineapple pulp results in a smooth textured drink. It can be sweetened depending on pineapple ripeness and served over ice for a chilled refreshment. Alternatively, using pineapple juice and shaking ingredients in a container offers a quick preparation method.
Notes recommend using pineapple ginger syrup as a substitute for pineapple and ginger powder to mimic Starbucks flavor profiles and suggests freezing pineapple juice into cubes to keep the drink cold without dilution. Nutritional information is an estimate.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup pineapple Fresh or canned, cut into ½ inch chunks. This is about 5 canned pineapple rounds or 5.98 oz/ 186g of pineapple. You need to cut the pineapple, as larger pieces would mean you can fit less into 1 cup. If you're going to weigh the fruit, you can skip the cutting. Substitute: 1 cup of pure pineapple juice. You can also substitute this AND the ginger with pineapple ginger syrup.
- 1 Cup coconut milk You can mix 76g/ 2.68oz of coconut cream with 152g/5.36 oz of water. Substitute: 1 cup of shop bought coconut milk but it may be less creamy. Alternatively, use a milk of your choice, unsweetened
- 2 teaspoon matcha powder Do not substitute with green tea as the flavor and color are different.
- ⅛-½ teaspoon ground ginger Different ginger powders have different levels of spice, depending on how old they are etc, so start with the smallest amount (⅛ teaspoon) and work your way up if you find you can't taste the ginger. Substitute: freshly squeezed ginger juice, to taste
- ice You can freeze your pineapple before blending if you want an icy drink but don't have any ice cubes on hand, optional
- sugar Only necessary if your pineapple isn't ripe (or you have a very sweet tooth.) If using tinned pineapple, you can use the syrup from the tin to sweeten your drink, optional and to taste
Instructions
- Mix the matcha powder, ginger powder and homemade coconut milk.
- Add the mixture from Step 1 into the blender, along with the pineapple chunks.
- Blend till everything is well-mixed and no lumps remain (except for the pineapple pulp.)Optional: sieve out the pineapple pulp. Sweeten to taste if necessary and add ice cubes if you want a cold drink.
If using pineapple juice
- Add the juice, matcha powder, ginger powder and coconut milk to an airtight container and shake till all combine.
Notes
- Pineapple ginger syrup can replace fresh pineapple and ginger powder; use 2 tablespoons per cup of drink.
- Freeze pineapple juice into cubes to chill the drink without watering it down as ice melts.
- Adjust sweetness according to pineapple ripeness or personal taste, using pineapple syrup or sugar.
