So the other day I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled upon a range of pretty pastel coloured Starbucks drinks that are apparently the "in" thing right now (Starbucks isn't big in Australia so I would have no idea). From pink to purple to green and yellow, the drinks were just too visually appealing for me to leave them alone. With a little bit of googling, I discovered I just happened to possess all the necessary ingredients to recreate my own version of the purple one and so on a whim I decided why not? Here's what I did to make my own Starbucks purple drink:
What you'll need:
- A fruit iced tea (I used peach iced tea and to my knowledge, Starbucks uses passionfruit iced tea but any type of fruit flavoured iced tea should work just fine)
- Soy milk (or coconut milk)
- Blackberries
- Ice
- Sugar/honey (optional)
What to do:
Step 1: Add the ice
Step 2: Pour your iced tea over the ice
Step 3: Fill up your mason jar with soy milk
Step 4: Add a handful of blackberries and stir
And that's it! If the purple colour isn't showing up as much as you'd like, you can try crushing a few blackberries first before stirring them in. You may also add in some honey or sugar to sweeten it up a bit but my peach iced tea already came packed with a ton of sugar so I didn't. But it's as simple and easy as that! I can't comment on whether or not this tastes similar to the actual Starbucks one since I've never tried it before but I do believe that this would be a delicious, refreshing drink to satisfy all your senses...or at least your eyes and mouth.
