Ingredients
Scale
I recommend that all ingredients be chilled prior to starting.
- 1 medium, ripe kiwi
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup watermelon juice
- 1/2 cup rice milk
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup*
- blue food coloring
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
- Peel kiwi, cut into thirds, and blend until mostly smooth. Press contents of blender through a fine mesh strainer and place into a small bowl. Give blender a quick rinse.
- Add pineapple juice, watermelon juice, rice milk, coconut milk, lime juice, simple syrup, and a few drops of blue food coloring to blender. Measure out 2 tablespoons of kiwi pulp and add to blender. Blend until fully combined.
- Add xanthan gum to blender and blend for an additional 20-30 seconds - the blue milk should thicken up a little - add more xanthan gum 1/8 teaspoon a time until desired consistency is achieved. Adjust food coloring until desired blue coloring is achieved.
Notes
If you don't have simple syrup, you can use honey (it will add a bit of flavor) or agave nectar instead.
Kiwi is used as it is a close substitute for dragon fruit, which can be expensive and difficult to find. Both will add visible seeds to the blue milk. If you'd rather have a smoother appearance, you can use up to 1/4 cup of pear juice instead.
