Strawberry Açaí-Style Refresher

White grape juice provides the familiar fruity body while cooled green tea keeps this refresher from becoming straight juice. Freeze-dried strawberries scent the drink and soften slightly around the edges without turning mushy. Açaí powder adds tart berry depth; use a fine unsweetened powder rather than a frozen sweetened smoothie packet.
