2. Homemade Date Syrup: Adds natural sweetness with a rich, caramel-like flavor.
3. Green grapes, frozen: Seedless green grapes offer natural sweetness and a smooth texture when blended.

How to Prepare

Step 1

Start by steeping the passion herbal tea in boiling hot water for 5 minutes. Then, put it in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to cool.

Step 2

After the tea has cooled to at least room temperature, put all ingredients into a high-speed blender.

Step 3

Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into your favorite glass and top with (optional) shredded coconut flakes, if using. Enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Prep Ahead: Keep frozen grapes and strawberries on hand. Batch-brew the tea and store it in the refrigerator for quick assembly.
• Quick Pink Drink: Short on time? Use half the water to steep the tea, and then add ice to give it a chill.
• Adjust Sweetness: Taste and modify the amount of homemade date syrup to suit your preference.
• Chill Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are cold before blending for the best texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

1. Salads: While a nice treat on its own, this drink also pairs well with salads, like our Black Eyed Peas Corn Salad, Walnut Meat Taco Salad, Curry Quinoa Chickpea Salad, and Chickpea Tuna Salad.
2. Appetizers: This Starbucks Pink Drink also goes great with appetizers like Edamame Guacamole, Vegan Jalapeno Poppers, and Oil Free Refried Beans with Oven Baked Tortilla Chips.
3. Entrees: Pair this drink with our Single Serving Veggie Pizza, Vegan Mediterranean Pizza, and Vegan Crab Cakes.

Instead of reaching for that glass of wine after a long, stressful day at work, you can easily prep this ahead of time. Simply batch-steep the tea and leave it in the refrigerator. As long as you keep the homemade date syrup, coconut milk, frozen grapes, and strawberries on hand, it takes less than 5 minutes to whip up.
