Materials
Raspberry Syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup raspberries
Strawberry Acai Drink
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup passion fruit tea
- 1/4 tsp acai powder
- 1/4 cup raspberry syrup more for lining the cup
- 1 1/2 tbsp green tea
Instructions
- To make the raspberry syrup, add sugar, water, and raspberry to a pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer until raspberries break down and it begins to thicken (about 10-15 minutes). Strain and let let cool.
- Wash and slice the strawberries. Place in a bowl and sprinkle sugar on top. Mix and let stand until strawberries soften and liquid seeps out.
- Brew hot water for teas. Place the passionfruit and green tea bags in separate cups. Cover with hot water and let seep according to instructions. It usually takes about 2-5 minutes. Remove tea bags and let cool.
- To prepare a cup, add the raspberry syrup to the bottom. I like to line the sides as well. Spoon in sliced strawberries, ice, teas, and acai powder. Mix with a spoon and serve cold.
- You should have enough raspberry syrup and strawberries to make several other drinks. Share with friends and family.
