Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh ripe strawberries, washed, hulled, and roughly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or preferred sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
  • 1¼ cups milk (whole milk recommended, but any milk including plant-based alternatives can be used)
  • Few drops vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull about 1 cup of fresh strawberries, then slice them roughly to ensure even blending and maximum flavor extraction.
  2. Blend the Strawberries: Place the sliced strawberries in a blender along with 2 tablespoons of sugar or your preferred sweetener and ¼ cup of milk. Blend until smooth to create a sweet strawberry puree.
  3. Combine with Milk: Pour the strawberry puree into a tall glass and stir in 1 cup of cold milk. Add a few drops of vanilla extract if desired. Mix well until the liquid is fully combined and creamy.
  4. Add Ice and Serve: Add ice cubes to the glass to chill the strawberry milk, giving it a refreshing coolness perfect for warm days or anytime you need a pick-me-up.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries that are bright red and fragrant for the best flavor.
  • Blend thoroughly to avoid any grainy texture and ensure a smooth drink.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually, starting with less sugar and adding more to taste.
  • Use cold milk and chilled strawberries to keep the drink refreshing without relying solely on ice.
  • Serve immediately for the best flavor, vibrant color, and freshness.
