Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cups milk
Instructions
- Wash strawberries well. Remove stems, hull, and cut into quarters
- Place strawberries, sugar, ¼ cup water, and lemon juice in a large saucepan and heat over medium-high heat
- When the mixture comes to a light boil, reduce heat and simmer 8-10 minutes or until strawberries become soft and syrup thickens.
- Pour mixture into liquid measuring cup or jar through a fine mesh strainer (this will help remove the seeds). Press the strawberries gently to release excess juices. Skim foam from the syrup if needed. Allow to cool before serving.
- If syrup is too thin, return to sauce pan and bring to a simmer. You want the syrup to be thick enough to coat a spoon. Thicken by combining ¼ cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add slowly, stirring constantly, until desired thickness is reached.
- Allow to cool. Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of syrup to 2 cups of milk.
- Stir until pink and well combined. Store excess syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes
- Swap out the sugar for some honey or artificial sweetener such as Stevia, Splenda, or monk fruit sweetener.
- For a vegan alternative, use almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, soy milk, or cashew milk instead of dairy milk.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe.
