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
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull about 1 cup of fresh strawberries, then slice them roughly to ensure even blending and maximum flavor extraction.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
