Notes
Tea should be steeped longer than normal for proper tartness
Ensure all liquids are completely chilled before mixing
Pour coconut milk slowly for best visual swirls
Can substitute açaí powder with blueberry powder or omit entirely
Base mixture improves in flavor when made up to 24 hours ahead
Adjust sweetness to taste – different strawberries vary in natural sugar content
