Superfruit Latte (Plant Based, Iced Pink Latte)
A layered pink iced berry latte: cooled superfruit concentrate poured over cold coconut or oat milk, no splitting. Caffeine free and dairy free.
A superfruit latte is a layered pink iced drink, and the key is to make it cold rather than hot. Hibiscus is acidic and will curdle hot plant milk on contact, so you chill a strong berry concentrate and pour it slowly over cold coconut or oat milk, which gives you that clean pink ombre without any splitting.

It uses Teapigs Superfruit, a pure caffeine free berry and hibiscus infusion. Ten minutes plus chilling, dairy free.
You'll need
- 3 Teapigs Superfruit tea temples
- 150ml rolling boil water, for a strong concentrate
- 150ml cold coconut drink or barista oat milk
- 1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup, to taste
- Plenty of ice
Method
- Make a strong concentrate: steep the 3 temples in 150ml rolling boil water, covered, for 7 minutes, then squeeze and remove.
- Stir the maple syrup into the concentrate, then chill it completely. It must be cold; hot acidic hibiscus curdles plant milk on contact.
- Fill a tall glass with ice and pour in the cold coconut or oat milk.
- Slowly pour the cold superfruit concentrate over the back of a spoon onto the milk so it layers into a pink ombre rather than mixing and splitting.
- Serve straight away and stir at the table; coconut and barista oat handle the fruit acidity far better than plain milks.
