Guava Coconut Milk Tea

Millie Pham

This Guava Coconut Milk Tea is straight-up tropical refreshment in a glass. You get the fruity sweetness from guava juice, creamy richness from coconut milk, and a light floral note from green tea. It’s super easy, super pretty, and super delicious. It’s one of those drinks that looks fancy but comes together in no time—no blender, no boba, just chill island vibes.

❓ FAQ

Can I use canned coconut milk?
Yes! Full-fat is creamier, but light coconut milk works great too.

Can I skip the green tea?
You can, but it helps balance the sweetness. Feel free to use jasmine or white tea instead.

Is it super sweet?
Not unless you add sweetener—guava juice is fruity on its own. Taste as you go!

Can I use a different fruit juice?
Sure! Lychee or passionfruit would be fun twists.

How long does it keep?
Best fresh, but you can keep it in the fridge for up to a day. Stir before serving.
