Strawberry Milk
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.
Ingredients
- 3 cups sliced strawberries fresh or frozen, In this recipe frozen strawberries are used.
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup water
- milk preferably whole or 2%; non-dairy milk can be substituted
- whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- 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.
