Following all the new Starbucks’ coconut milk drinks, Starbucks just introduced the new Iced pineapple matcha drink which is made of a blend of fresh pineapple juice, matcha green tea, and coconut milk with a hint of ginger. You will be surprised at how much the components of this blend go perfectly with each other giving one amazing and refreshing drink.
And here I am offering you the exact recipe of the Pineapple matcha Starbucks for you to try it out at a fraction of its cost and the same delicious taste.
Pro tips:
- Start mixing the matcha green tea powder and ginger powder in a small amount of pineapple juice first to make sure they completely dissolve and no lumps form before adding the rest of the ingredients.
- To remove the tiny white particles due to the coconut milk, use a cheesecloth or a coffee filter to run the drink through it before the addition of the syrup.
- Adjust the sweetness of the drink according to your preference. If you’re using sweetened coconut milk, you might need to add less syrup than if you used non-sweetened coconut milk.
