Make this simple, creamy strawberry milk from scratch using fresh strawberries for a refreshing drink perfect for kids or summer days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or oat milk for dairy free strawberry milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the fresh strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries soften, about 5 to 7 minutes. This creates your strawberry syrup for milk.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the syrup cool slightly. You can mash the strawberries lightly with a fork for more flavor.
  4. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids or save them for another use.
  5. In a glass, combine 2 to 3 tablespoons of the fresh strawberry syrup (adjust to your taste) with 1 cup of your chosen milk and the vanilla extract.
  6. Stir well until fully combined. For a creamy pink drink, serve immediately over ice.

Notes

  • For a Korean strawberry milk style, use whole milk and layer the syrup at the bottom before gently pouring the milk over it.
  • To make whipped strawberry milk, whip heavy cream with a small amount of the syrup until soft peaks form, then top your cold milk mixture with the whipped topping.
  • This recipe makes a versatile strawberry syrup that keeps well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
