Ingredients
- 2 cups milk of choice dairy free works great too
- 1 pound fresh strawberries washed
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1-2 tablespoons honey to taste
Instructions
- Place the strawberries into a blender. Use the puree button to turn them into liquid. Pour into a heavy saucepan and add the lemon juice.
- Cook the pureed strawberries on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
- You can add in the honey during the cooking process to your liking, this all depends on how sweet your strawberries are
- The puree is done when it thickens up and cooks down to almost a syrup. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Pour the milk into two glasses. Mix in the cooled strawberry puree to taste. If desired, add on whipped cream and sprinkles, a straw and serve.
- Store the strawberry puree in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 5 days, or freeze in smaller portions to add to milk when ever you want!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Calories will depend on how much puree you put into the milk
- If the kids don't think it's pink enough you can always stir in a drop of red food coloring! The color from natural strawberries isn't always as bold as artificial strawberry milk.
