making it right now i hope that i turns out good
I tried this and it is super close. I’ll definitely do this again but maybe next time see if I can use half strawberry tea because I found the acai quite strong.
Thanks for the feedback, Juliette! If you try with strawberry tea let us know how it turns out!
Coconut milk curdled. I followed instructions precisely. Sad I wasted the ingredients 😏
Delishions!!🤗🤗🤤
that did not taste like a pink drink and i’m kind of disappointed
If you think the recipe is disgusting then provide a better one. This is not quite a pink drink, no, but it is close and a little modification makes it an amazing beverage. She did a good job in her attempt to duplicate.
I add rock sugar to the steeping tea and açaí because I found the final beverage to lack a particular kind of sweetness. I take the tea and blend it with extra, whole strawberries, a dash of cream, and a touch of vanilla. Mine is also thicker than a standard pink drink but mine is more savory than the Starbucks sweet. If extra strawberries and the condensed coconut oil were not added to mine, it would have a taste and consistency of a pink drink. Thanks to all those who put work in on this.
Thanks for your tips and feedback, Robert!
This is really nasty I don’t recommend😕😭. I was so excited😥
The coconut milk needs either water or milk added to dilute it so I would do 1/2 a cup of milk and 1/2 a cup of water.
