HOW DO YOU MAKE A DUNKIN REFRESHER AT HOME

step 1 brew iced green tea

First, I made cold brew green tea overnight. I used 4 green tea bags in 4 cups of room temperature water and then refrigerated it overnight. You can use either decaf or regular green tea!

In a time pinch, use store bought already brewed green tea, or brew hot green tea and let it cool to room temperature.

step 2 blend

In your blender add 2 cups of green tea, ¼ cup dragon fruit, ¼ cup strawberries, and 1-2 tablespoons honey or agave if using.

If you are making a creamy coconut milk strawberry dragon fruit refresher add ¼-1/2 cup coconut milk to your blender too.

Blend until the fruit is pureed into the tea.

step 3 pour

Fill a large glass with ice cubes. Add another ½ cup of diced pink dragon fruit. Pour the refresher over the ice and dragon fruit.

Enjoy!

FAQ's

What kind of coconut milk do I use to make a creamy refresher?

I buy a carton of coconut milk found in the refrigerator section. There's no need to use the can of full fat coconut milk in this recipe. I tried it will full fat coconut milk and it did not blend into a creamy tea and little chunks of coconut milk were floating in my drink.

Should I use fresh or frozen fruit?

I used frozen and then thawed strawberries and dragon fruit. I like using thawed because they release more sweet juice than fresh does.

Should I use decaf or regular green tea in a refresher?

I used decaf because I wanted an afternoon drink without caffeine! But, if you want an energizing refresher, use regular green tea that contains caffeine.
