Make refreshing strawberry milk at home using a simple syrup made from fresh strawberries. This recipe yields a bright, naturally flavored drink perfect for any time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy like oat or almond)
  • Optional: Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes, gently mashing the strawberries with a spoon as they soften.
  4. Remove the syrup from the heat and let it cool completely. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar, pressing down on the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
  5. To serve, fill a glass halfway with ice. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry syrup to the glass.
  6. Pour in 1 cup of your preferred milk. Stir well until the color is uniform.
  7. Add more syrup or milk to reach your desired sweetness and color. Top with whipped cream if you wish.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cow’s milk with oat milk or almond milk. Oat milk provides the creamiest texture.
  • To make a Korean-style layered drink, pour the milk first, then slowly pour the syrup down the side of the glass so it settles at the bottom.
  • You can use this fresh strawberry syrup in overnight oats or as a base for a homemade pink drink.
