Description
A refreshing copycat recipe for Starbucks Iced Pineapple Matcha Drink, perfect for a vegan treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 teaspoon (5 g) matcha powder, high-quality ceremonial-grade
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) hot water
- ½ cup (120 ml) 100% pure pineapple juice (no added sugar or preservatives)
- ¼ cup (60 ml) full-fat coconut milk (shake canned coconut milk well before measuring)
- ½ to 1 teaspoon (2.5–5 ml) ginger juice or minced ginger (start with ½ teaspoon and adjust for spiciness if desired)
Instructions
- Step 1: Add 1 teaspoon matcha powder and ⅓ cup hot water to a cup. Whisk thoroughly with a matcha whisk or handheld milk frother until the matcha is fully dissolved and the mixture is free of lumps. This ensures a smooth texture essential for the drink.
- Step 2: Combine the prepared matcha mixture, ½ cup pineapple juice, ½ to 1 teaspoon ginger juice or minced ginger, and ¼ cup coconut milk in a cocktail shaker or large mason jar. Secure the lid tightly to avoid spills. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the mixture is well blended and chilled.
- Step 3: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes as needed. Pour the shaken mixture over the ice. Stir gently after pouring to recombine any separated ingredients and ensure consistent flavor throughout the drink. Enjoy immediately for best taste.
Notes
- The recipe is gluten-free as all ingredients, including pineapple juice, matcha powder, coconut milk, honey, and lemon juice, contain no gluten.
- This recipe is dairy-free because it uses coconut milk instead of any animal-based milk products or cream.
- The recipe is vegan only when replacing honey with an appropriate plant-based sweetener such as maple syrup or agave nectar.
- This recipe does not meet keto or low-carb diets due to the natural sugars found in pineapple juice and honey.
- The recipe is nut-free since none of the listed ingredients include tree nuts or peanuts in any form.
