Ingredients

3 cups sliced strawberries (fresh or frozen) I used one 16-oz bag frozen sliced strawberries
¾ cup granulated sugar
⅔ cup water
milk preferably whole or 2%; non-dairy milk can be substituted
whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

Place the strawberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan set over medium heat. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the strawberry mixture through the strainer. Use the back of a spoon to press the strawberries against the strainer, extracting as much juice/syrup as possible. If there is any foam on top of the syrup you can scoop it off now. Chill the syrup.
To serve: pour ¾ cup of milk into a glass and add syrup to taste (I add about 3-4 tablespoons). Stir and serve.

Notes

The recipe above makes about 1-½ cups of syrup, which will make about 6 cups of strawberry milk. If you’d like a smaller serving, the quantities below make enough syrup for 2-3 glasses of strawberry milk:

1-½ cups sliced strawberries
⅓ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup water
