Print Recipe

Make creamy, flavorful strawberry milk from scratch using a simple fresh strawberry syrup base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup milk (dairy, oat, or almond)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries soften, about 8 minutes.
  3. Mash the strawberries lightly with a fork as they cook.
  4. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool for 15 minutes.
  5. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a jar, pressing down on the solids to extract all liquid. Discard the solids.
  6. Stir the vanilla extract into the cooled strawberry syrup.
  7. To serve, combine 2 to 3 tablespoons of strawberry syrup with 1 cup of your preferred milk. Adjust syrup amount to taste.
  8. Stir well or shake until fully mixed. Serve immediately over ice.

Notes

  • You can store leftover strawberry syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a thicker, creamier drink, use whole milk or add a splash of heavy cream to your serving.
  • If you prefer a Korean-style milk, use less water when making the syrup for a more concentrated flavor.
