Why Make This Recipe?
Homemade drinks are not only more affordable but also allow you to control the quality of ingredients, avoiding unnecessary sugars and artificial additives. We all love indulging in a refreshing, creamy beverage, but most store-bought options come with added sugars, artificial ingredients, and unnecessary packaging.

Crafted with hibiscus tea, natural sweetness, and our JOI oat milk creamer, it’s not just delicious but also wholesome and sustainable. Perfect for summer days or whenever you crave a vibrant, fruity sip, this homemade pink drink delivers taste, nutrition, and satisfaction without compromise.

Plus, it’s fully customizable to suit your taste preferences. Who doesn’t love an easy win in the kitchen?
Why Use JOI in This Recipe
JOI’s oat milk creamer brings unmatched versatility to plant-based recipes, making it a must-have for anyone seeking sustainable and nutritious alternatives. Let’s dive into why it’s perfect for this recipe and beyond!
Clean Label Goodness
Unlike traditional grocery store creamers that often contain gums, fillers, and artificial additives, JOI oat milk creamer is made with simple, purposeful ingredients. This means you’re treating yourself to a drink that’s not just tasty but also good for your body. For example, oats are known for being a great source of beta-glucan, a type of fiber linked to improved heart health.
No Seed Oils! Choose Healthy Fats
Our oat milk creamer provides a creamy texture without inflammatory seed oils. Instead, we've used healthy fats: MCT and avocado oils.
Convenient and Versatile
JOI’s plant milk concentrate is shelf-stable and designed for ease. With our pouches, you can scoop out and prepare as much as you need without any waste.
Our stick packs are perfect for on-the-go use, pre-measured for an individual serving. Just stir it in and enjoy the creamy magic wherever you are!
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
Every sip of this pink drink is a step toward reducing food waste and packaging waste. By adding water yourself, you’re lowering the carbon footprint associated with transporting heavier, pre-mixed beverages. Plus, JOI’s packaging is designed with sustainability in mind, making it a planet-friendly choice. Our pouches are made from post-consumer recycled plastic and our stick packs are made from landfill-biodegradable plastic.
Substitutions and Customizations for This Recipe
This recipe is as flexible as it is tasty! Here are some ideas to make it your own:
-
Sweetener Options: Don’t have manuka honey? Swap it with agave syrup, maple syrup, or a sugar-free alternative like stevia.
