Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and 2 tbsp of water.
  2. Simmer over low heat until the strawberries soften and release their juices (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Stir in the lemon juice, remove from heat, and strain the mixture to create a smooth strawberry base.
  4. Brew 2 acai berry tea bags in ½ cup boiling water. Let steep, then cool completely.

  6. Add 3-4 tbsp of the strawberry base.
  7. Drizzle with honey and stir.
  8. Top with fresh strawberry slices and optional sparkling water.

  • To mimic the Starbucks flavor more closely, add 2-3 tbsp of white grape juice.
  • Best served immediately over ice.
