Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons green tea or coffee chilled
- 1/2 pound fresh strawberries stems removed and halved
- 4 cups water (divided)
- 3/4 teaspoon freeze-dried acai powder
- 1 ¾ cups white grape juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or sugar or honey, you can adjust the sweetness by using more or less)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Make green tea or coffee. Let it chill in the fridge. (You can prepare this ahead of time)
- Prepare the strawberries by removing green leaves and cut them into halves.
- Add strawberries and 1 cup of water into a blender. Blend until smooth and then strain them through a fine mesh.
- Whisk together acai powder and 1/2 cup of water until dissolved. It takes a few minutes for the powder to dissolve completely.
- (Optional) If you don't like the the tiny black particles from the acai powder, you can strain the mixture through cheesecloth or a coffee filter. This will give your drink a more beautiful clear look.
- Add acai mixture, the white grape juice, and chilled green tea or coffee to strawberry juice. Mix to combine.
- In a large pitcher with ice cubes, add the strawberry mixture and the rest of the water.
- Then add simple syrup to your desired sweetness. You can also use sugar or honey. Start with small amount, taste and gradually add more. Mix well.
- Fill each glass 1/3 full of ice cubes and a scoop of strawberry slices. Pour the drink into the glass and serve immediately!
