Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 4 cups whole milk (well chilled)
- 3–4 drops red food coloring (optional)
- whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, water, and sugar to a saucepan and simmer gently for about 10-12 minutes.
- Strain the strawberries and juice through a fine mesh strainer gently pressing the strawberries against the mesh to extract as much of the juice as possible.
- Let it cool down for 10-15 minutes. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the syrup to a well chilled glass of milk and stir to combine.
- If desired add 1-2 drops red food coloring per glass and a little bit of whipped cream.
Notes
- Both fresh and frozen strawberries work well with this recipe.
- The milk turns a pale pink so if you want a little more color add a few drops of food coloring.
- McCormick sells natural food coloring made from plants, veggies and seeds.
- Store the strawberry syrup in the fridge in a sealable container like a mason jar for up to 2 weeks. That way you can use it to make a quick glass at a moments notice.
- I prefer whole milk with this recipe but 2% will work as well however it will not be as creamy. If you have any half and half or cream in the refrigerator add a little splash and stir to combine.
- Don’t be too quick to throw out those mashed strawberries. They are delicious in a bowl of greek yogurt, vanilla ice cream or even cottage cheese.
