When I make strawberry milk, it takes me back to my childhood, making me feel like a kid again. Making strawberry milk at home is a better option than store-bought. This recipe is simple and enjoyable to make, and the flavor is significantly better.
This strawberry milk recipe is simple and tasty. It uses fresh strawberries, sugar, and water to make a sweet strawberry syrup. This bright red syrup mixes well with any kind of milk—whole, 2%, or non-dairy. For a special touch, you can add whipped cream on top.
Making this recipe is fun and lets you choose how sweet you want it. In just a few steps, you can have a creamy, refreshing drink that’s great.
Ingredients
- Sliced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- Granulated sugar
- Water
- Milk (preferably whole or 2%; non-dairy milk can be substituted)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Strawberry Syrup
Cook strawberries, sugar, and water on the stovetop until it thickens. Strain out the solids to get a sweet, vibrant red strawberry syrup.
How To Make Strawberry Milk
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, sugar, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the strawberry mixture into it. Press the strawberries with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice and syrup as you can. Remove any foam from the top of the syrup, if present. Let the syrup cool in the refrigerator.
To serve, pour ¾ cup of milk into a glass and add syrup to your preference (I usually add around 3-4 tablespoons). Mix well and enjoy.
How To Store
Keep the strawberry syrup in the refrigerator for up to three days. Mix it into milk just before serving.
