FAQs about a Homemade Strawberry Acai Refresher
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?
Absolutely! Frozen strawberries work just as well and can help make the drink even colder and more refreshing.
Can I substitute a different type of juice for acai berry juice?
While acai berry juice adds a unique flavor to the refresher, you can try substituting with other berry juices or even cranberry juice for a different twist.
Is the green tea necessary in the recipe?
The green tea adds a subtle depth of flavor and extra antioxidants to the drink, but you can omit it if you prefer or substitute with lemonade for a sweeter taste.
