A refreshing Strawberry Yakult Tea Refresher combining the floral aroma of jasmine green tea with the tangy sweetness of homemade strawberry sauce and the unique probiotic flavor of Yakult. Perfect for a cooling, energizing drink on warm days.

Ingredients

Beverage

  • 1 cup jasmine green tea, steeped
  • 2 bottles Yakult

Strawberry Sauce

  • 1 cup strawberries, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Steep the Tea: Heat water to 185°F and steep the jasmine green tea for 3-4 minutes. Remove the teabag and chill the tea in the refrigerator until cool.
  2. Prepare Strawberry Sauce: Wash and chop strawberries. In a small saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer, then reduce heat and simmer while stirring continuously with a rubber spatula to mash the strawberries and prevent burning. Cook for 15-25 minutes until the mixture becomes a puree with desired consistency.
  3. Strain the Sauce: Pour the strawberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently to strain out seeds, resulting in a smooth sauce.
  4. Assemble the Refresher: In a glass, combine the chilled jasmine green tea, strained strawberry sauce, and Yakult. Stir well to combine.
  5. Serve: Add ice and any preferred toppings. Enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Yakult Tea Refresher chilled.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor in the sauce.
  • Adjust the sugar in the strawberry sauce according to your sweetness preference.
  • The yakult adds probiotics and a subtle tang, but can be substituted with another fermented milk drink if desired.
  • Chilling the tea beforehand ensures the drink is refreshing and maintains a good balance of flavors.
  • Optional toppings can include fresh strawberry slices, mint leaves, or a splash of sparkling water for added texture.
