Blue Drink and Green Drink are the latest addition to the rainbow beverages on the Starbucks secret menu. The blue drink is made with passion iced tea, soy milk, and vanilla syrup. It’s so refreshing, and you can easily make it at home at the fraction of the price. A perfect summer drink!

I love Starbucks colorful iced beverages: Pink Drink, Purple Drink, Green Drink, Orange Drink, and now, Blue Drink. Which one is your favorite?

If you love Purple Drink, you’ll love this blue drink too! The two recipes are very similar, but we adjusted the ratio among the ingredients slightly in order to get the right shade of blue.

What’s in a Blue Drink?

• Passion Tea Bags: You can buy the tea bags at your local grocery store such as Whole Foods or order them online from Amazon. My favorite brand is Tazo passion herbal tea.
• Coconut Milk: It adds a natural sweetness and creaminess to your drink. Original Starbucks blue drink uses soy milk, but I find that coconut milk produces a brighter blue color.  When I use soy milk, my drink has a purple color.
• Blueberry Juice: This is an optional ingredient, but I find that it’s important to add blueberry juice if you want your drink to have vivid blue color.
• Simple Syrup or Sugar: Customize this drink with your preferred sweetness level with simple syrup or sugar. For a healthier option, use Stevia to sweeten your drink.

How to Make the Blue Drink at Home

1. Prepare the passion tea. Pour hot water over the passion tea bag.

2. Steep the tea for 5 minutes. Then let it chill in the refrigerator.

3. In a pitcher or jar, add chilled passion tea and blueberry juice.

4. Pour in coconut milk, and mix well.

5. Add simple syrup. Stir to combine. (Add syrup gradually until it reaches your desired sweetness level).

6. Fill a glass 3/4 full of ice. Pour the mixture into the glass. Serve and enjoy immediately.

Important Tips

• Make sure to chill your tea until it’s cold before making the drink.
• The color of your drink depends on the ratio among the passion tea, blueberry juice, and coconut milk. Adding more passion tea will give you a purple color, like this one.
• Serve immediately after you make the drink, otherwise, it will start to separate into two layers.
