Description
A refreshing and naturally sweet strawberry milk drink made by simmering fresh strawberries with sugar to create a jammy syrup, then mixing it with cold milk and serving over ice for a delightful treat.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Cut the fresh strawberries into small pieces and gently mash them together with the sugar until they begin to break down slightly, releasing their juices.
- Cook Strawberry Mixture: Transfer the mashed strawberries and sugar into a small pot and simmer over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture becomes jammy and thickened.
- Cool the Strawberry Syrup: Remove the pot from heat and allow the strawberry mixture to cool completely by placing it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to prevent curdling when mixed with cold milk.
- Mix and Serve: Pour the cooled strawberry syrup over ice in a glass, add milk, and stir gently. Garnish with additional chopped strawberries if desired for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best flavor and natural sweetness.
- You can adjust the sugar quantity to your preferred sweetness level.
- For a thicker texture, simmer the strawberry mixture a bit longer to reduce more liquid.
- This recipe works well with any type of milk, including plant-based alternatives.
- Serve immediately after mixing with milk to enjoy the freshest taste.
