Ingredients

  • ½ cup Summer-Berry Refresher Base (recipe below)
  • ½ cup sweetened coconut milk (the kind in the carton)
  • ¼ cup raspberry pearls or boba (with liquid)

Summer-Berry Refresher Base

  • ½ cup + 2 Tbsp berry syrup (recipe below)
  • 1 ⅓ cups water
  • ½ teaspoon citric acid
  • ½ teaspoon green coffee extract powder optional (omit if you don't want any caffeine in your Refresher)
  • ¼ teaspoon blue spirulina powder

Berry Syrup

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon blueberry extract
  • ½ teaspoon raspberry extract
  • ½ teaspoon blackberry extract

Instructions

  • Add about ½ cup summer-berry base and ½ cup sweetened coconut milk to an ice-filled shaker. Shake well to combine.
  • Put raspberry pearls and their liquid in the bottom of a cup.
  • Pour entire mixture (ice included) into the glass.

Summer-Berry Refresher Base

  • Add berry syrup, water, citric acid, green coffee bean powder (if using), and blue spirulina to a large jar or container. Shake well to combine and refrigerate until ready to use.

Berry Syrup

  • Put water and sugar in medium-size saucepan and bring mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry extracts.
  • Pour syrup into a mason jar or bowl and place in fridge to cool completely before using. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.

Notes

  • The base recipe makes enough for about 4 full drinks if using ½ cup of base per drink.
  • Berry syrup recipe makes enough for 2 batches of base.
  • The base should fresh keep in your fridge for about a month; the berry syrup should also keep in your fridge for about a month.
  • Mix base with lemonade for a sweeter, tart drink or mix with water for the standard Summer-Berry Refresher.
