Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup Freeze Dried Strawberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup white grape juice
• 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Green Coffee Bean Powder (the powder of about two capsules broken open)
• 2 tsp Acai Powder
• 4 cups cold filtered water
• ice
• freeze-dried or fresh strawberries, for garnish

Directions

• Add the freeze-dried strawberries, sugar, white grape juice, green coffee bean powder and acai powder to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for ten minutes.
• Pour the strawberry mixture into a fine mesh strainer, capturing the liquid in a wide lipped cup or bowl. Gently push the liquid out of the strawberries. Reserve the strawberry pulp for use on pancakes or baking. Allow the syrup to cool.
• Add a few strawberries (freeze-dried or fresh) to the bottom of two serving glasses and top with ice. Divide the cooled syrup among the two glasses, then two cups of cold filtered water to each.
• To be even more Starbucks authentic, add everything to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously before pouring back into your serving glass.
• Top with the remaining strawberries reserved for garnish and serve immediately.
