Equipment

  • A blender
  • A whisk
  • A porcelain or glass cup
  • A jug
  • strainer
  • Electric kettle
  • Drinking glasses and a straw

Ingredients
  

  • Fresh blueberries
  • Acai powder
  • White grape juice
  • Green tea
  • Sugar (You can use a Starbucks syrup instead)
  • Water

Instructions
 

  • Prep the green tea
    Start by boiling some water in an electric kettle. When it is boiled, grab your glass or porcelain cup and place one tea bag of green tea. Fill the cup with hot water to the brim and leave it to steep for 2 minutes.
    Place it in the fridge to cool as you prepare your refresher.
  • Blend the blueberries
    Slice your blueberries into halves and place them in your blender. Add one cup of water and cover the blender.
    Blend the blueberries until they are smooth and there are no traces of peels or seeds. Once they are blended, strain the pulp through a sieve to get rid of any solid material.
  • Prepare acai powder mixture
    In a clean jug, add half a cup of water and add three scoops of the acai berry powder. Whisk until the two are well incorporated.
  • Constitute your base
    To make your base, mix the acai mixture, blueberry juice, and white grape juice in a clean jug. Stir the mixture to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Mix everything together
    In one of the pitchers, mix the base, the green tea, sugar or syrup, and ice cubes and stir everything well. You now have a blueberry acai refresher. Your drink is ready to serve.

Notes

Here are a few pointers that you can use for a successful blueberry acai refresher recipe.
  • Make sure that your green tea is completely cool before adding it to the juice base
  • You can use coconut water in place of regular water if you want to incorporate a new flavor and also make a healthier drink.
  • You can replace the white grape juice( or add) with lemonade if you are looking for a more tangy drink.
  • Instead of green tea, you can purchase green coffee bean powder. It will add a nice coffee aroma and deliver just as much caffeine as you need.
  • If the acai powder is not available in stores near you, you can use acai juice, but you may end up using a lot of it if you are making a large batch.
