This Easy Homemade Strawberry Milk for One or Two, made with just four ingredients, is fruity, creamy, subtly sweet, and pretty much all your strawberries and cream dreams come to life.

Ingredients

  • Fine mesh strainer
  • 2 cups milk (preferably whole milk)
  • 1/2 cup hulled and chopped strawberries (frozen is fine)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • A couple drops of red food coloring (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pour 2 cups of whole milk into a large glass and place in the freezer so milk becomes very cold. (Skip this step if making the syrup ahead of time.)

  2. 2

    In a small pot, combine strawberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a low boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until fragrant and reduced.

  3. 3

    Use a fine mesh strainer to strain syrup into a small bowl or cup. Discard strawberries. Mix 3 tablespoons or about 2/3 of the syrup into your very cold milk. Stir and then add more syrup to taste. Add food coloring if desired.

  4. 4

    Serve and enjoy!
