Brew the Tazo Tea according to package instructions and allow it to cool completely.
In a glass, combine a few tablespoons of vanilla syrup with the cooled tea.
Add sliced fresh strawberries to the tea mixture.
Fill the glass with your milk of choice. Coconut milk replicates the original Pink Drink, but any milk works.
Stir gently to combine all ingredients and serve over ice for a refreshing, chilled beverage.
Serving and Storage:
Serve the Starbucks Pink Drink immediately over ice for the best flavor and texture. It makes a visually

are best added at the time of serving to maintain their texture and flavor.
Tips:
- Use ripe, fresh strawberries for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to control sweetness.
- For a more intense flavor, let the strawberries sit in the tea and syrup mixture for 10–15 minutes before adding milk.
- Serve in a clear glass to show off the beautiful pink color.
- Experiment with different milk options to find your favorite combination.
