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.
