Description
Easy Korean Strawberry Milk is a vibrant and refreshing drink made with fresh strawberries, sugar, and whole milk. A sweet strawberry puree is swirled into cold milk for a creamy, fruity treat that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, washed, dried, stems removed, and roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup sugar (white, raw/turbinado, or brown)
- 32 oz whole milk
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, dry, and roughly chop the strawberries after removing the stems.
- In a nonstick or stainless-steel skillet over medium heat, add the strawberries and sugar. Stir to combine.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes syrupy and thick with softened strawberries.
- Remove from heat and transfer the puree to a container. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and thicken.
- To serve, spoon strawberry puree into a glass and swirl extra puree along the inside of the glass for visual effect.
- Add ice cubes if desired, then pour cold whole milk over the puree.
- Stir with a straw and enjoy immediately.
- Store leftover strawberry puree in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
- Use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar for a different flavor.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the strawberry flavor.
- Try plant-based milks like oat, almond, or soy for a dairy-free version.
- Blend the puree smooth if you prefer a chunk-free drink.
- Stir in a bit of cream for a richer, more indulgent version.
