Fresh Korean Strawberry Milk
Description
The recipe begins with rinsing and crushing fresh strawberries, either leaving some small pieces or pureeing for a smoother syrup. Combined with sugar and lemon juice and left at room temperature, the mixture dissolves into a syrup that can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for longer storage. This fresh syrup retains the bright flavor of strawberries without added preservatives.
To serve, the syrup is poured into a glass and topped with milk, traditionally served with a wide straw to accommodate small strawberry pieces. The final drink balances the natural fruitiness of strawberries with the richness of milk and can be garnished with chopped strawberries for extra texture.
For dairy-free options, alternative milks like oat, almond, or coconut milk work well, preserving the creamy mouthfeel while catering to various dietary preferences.
Ingredients
Fresh strawberry syrup
- 1 lb (450 g) strawberry fresh
- 1 cup (200 g) sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh
To make Korean strawberry milk
- 4 tbsp Strawberry Syrup per serving, fresh
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk per serving
Instructions
To make strawberry syrup
- Rinse the strawberries and wipe them with a paper towel to remove any water on the surface.
- Take a mixing bowl and add the fresh strawberries. Use a masher or your hands to crush them to your desired size. You may leave a few small pieces for added texture or puree the strawberries if you prefer smoother texture.
- Add sugar and lemon juice and mix well. Let the mixture sit at room temperature until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. This may take up to 30 minutes.Note: Keep fresh strawberry syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. For longer storage, freeze in an ice cube tray, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.
To make strawberry milk
- Pour 4 tablespoons of the strawberry syrup into a glass and pour 1 cup of milk on top. Garnish with chopped fresh strawberries if desired. Wide straws are recommended.
Notes
- Wide straws help pass strawberry pieces through when drinking; use finely crushed or pureed strawberries if using regular straws.
- Dairy-free milk alternatives such as oat, almond, or coconut milk can substitute regular milk effectively.
