Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 5 cups white grape juice
- 2 cups strawberries (sliced and hulled)
- 2 teaspoons acai powder
- 1 teaspoon green coffee extract powder
- 1 teaspoon passion fruit powder
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
Making the Base:
- In a saucepan, combine white grape juice, sugar, and hulled and sliced strawberries.
- Heat the syrup and simmer for 10 minutes, then set aside and let the strawberry flavor steep into the syrup for an additional 10 minutes.
- Strain the syrup, removing the strawberry pieces from the syrup. Return the syrup to the saucepan.
- Return the syrup to low heat and add the acai powder, green coffee extract, passion fruit powder, and lemon juice.
- Whisk them together until fully blended.
- Decant the syrup into a mason jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
Mixing the Drink:
- In a shaker, combine some freeze-dried strawberries (set aside a few to use as a topper at the end), about half a cup of the base, and half a cup of water with ice.
- Shake the drink until it is fully mixed and pour it over ice.
- Garnish with a few more pieces of freeze-dried strawberry on top.
Notes
- Freeze-dried strawberries add intense flavor; you can also try other freeze-dried fruits.
- Adjust sweetness by using lemonade instead of water for a sweeter drink.
- Make a Pink Drink by using sweetened coconut milk instead of water.
- To go caffeine-free, omit green coffee extract. Enjoy your homemade refreshing beverage!
