- 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)
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.
