Method
- Brew one bag of passion fruit tea in six ounces of hot water and let it steep for 4 to 5 minutes for maximum flavor. Pour the brewed tea into a separate container and refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes, or use pre-made chilled tea to save time.
- Fill your cup about three-quarters full with ice, using crushed ice if you have it for better mixing.
- Add the cooled passion fruit tea to your ice-filled cup, filling it about halfway.
- Pour one-quarter cup of strawberry puree or syrup directly into the cup over the tea.
- Use your long spoon to stir the tea and strawberry mixture thoroughly, making sure the strawberry combines evenly with the tea.
- Slowly pour the coconut milk into the cup, filling it nearly to the top.
- Squeeze one tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the drink and stir once more to combine.
- Give the entire drink a good stir with your spoon to make sure everything is mixed evenly. Take a sip and adjust the sweetness by adding a bit more strawberry syrup if needed, or more coconut milk if it's too sweet.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream on top if desired for luxury and presentation.
Notes
Always use cold or room-temperature strawberry puree and coconut milk; warm ingredients will melt your ice and water down the drink. Use full-fat coconut milk from a can rather than the carton version for better creaminess. Don't skip the lemon juice as it prevents the drink from tasting cloying. Make this drink right before you plan to drink it, as sitting for more than 10 minutes allows the ice to melt and dilute everything.
