FAQs

Can I make this without coconut milk?
Yes! Swap with almond milk, oat milk, or regular milk, but it will slightly change the flavor.

What’s the best way to make it caffeine-free?
Skip the green tea and use only juice and coconut milk.

Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best served fresh, but you can mix the base (juice, tea, and sweetener) ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add ice and strawberries when ready to serve.
