Ingredients
Scale
- For the Drink:
- 1 cup coconut milk (Aldi carries several coconut milk options, use the unsweetened variety)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened strawberry juice (Aldi sells pure strawberry juice, but you can also use a strawberry-flavored syrup or concentrate)
- 1/2 cup brewed green tea (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of your choice (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup sliced strawberries (optional, for garnish)
- For the Ice Cream Float (Optional):
- 1–2 scoops of vanilla ice cream (Aldi offers several varieties)
Instructions
- Brew the Green Tea:
- Brew a cup of green tea and let it cool to room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, you can brew it and then chill it in the fridge to speed up the cooling process.
- Mix the Base:
- In a glass or a cocktail shaker, combine the cooled green tea, coconut milk, and strawberry juice (or syrup).
- Add honey or sweetener to taste and stir until fully combined.
- Add Ice:
- Fill a glass with ice cubes, and pour the pink drink mixture over the ice.
- Garnish and Serve:
- For extra color and texture, garnish your drink with freeze-dried strawberries or fresh sliced strawberries.
- If you want an extra creamy version, add 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to the drink, giving it a float-like twist.
- Enjoy:
- Stir everything together and enjoy your homemade Aldi-inspired Pink Drink!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness of the drink based on your preferences by adding more or less honey or sweetener.
- For a lighter version, you can use light coconut milk or almond milk instead of regular coconut milk.
- Freeze-dried strawberries add extra flavor and crunch, but they are optional.
- This recipe can be doubled or tripled for a group or party!
