Method
- In a jug that holds at least 3 cups, combine the grape or apple juice, green tea, and lemon juice. Stir well.
- Add the sliced strawberries, raspberries (or passion fruit), and acai powder to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth or fine sieve. Pour the strained fruit mixture into the jug with the juice base and stir to combine.
- To serve, layer crushed ice and a few sliced fresh strawberries in two glasses. Pour the refresher over the ice and strawberries. Top with a sprig of mint, if desired.

Notes
To ensure the acai powder dissolves properly, mix it with a small amount of warm water before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. If using green tea, steep it for about 5 minutes to get a stronger flavor without bitterness. For a sweeter drink, add honey, agave, or simple syrup. For a tarter taste, add more lemon juice. Coconut milk can be added for a creamier texture. Leftovers can be stored in a lidded jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Shake well before serving.
