Equipment

  • Kettle
  • Pitcher
  • Tall Glass
  • Bar Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups passion fruit tea, brewed and cooled
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup Ocean Spray White Cran-Strawberry juice
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (refrigerated carton kind)
  • Ice cubes (enough to fill glass)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Freeze-dried strawberries for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Fill a tall glass with ice almost to the top.
  • Drop a handful of sliced fresh strawberries into the glass. Pour the cold passion fruit tea over the ice.
  • Pour in the simple syrup and white cran-strawberry juice. Stir gently.
  • The coconut milk pour: Hold a spoon upside down just above the ice. Slowly pour the coconut milk over the back of the spoon to create a float.
  • Garnish with freeze-dried strawberries and serve immediately.

Notes

Strong tea is key - use two bags per cup. The spoon trick is essential for the float. Taste and adjust sweetness. Leftover brewed tea keeps in fridge for 5 days.
