Make this cafe style strawberry milk at home using fresh strawberries for a creamy, sweet, and refreshing drink. This recipe focuses on creating a simple homemade strawberry syrup that mixes perfectly with cold milk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the strawberries begin to break down, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly and the strawberries are soft. You can gently mash the strawberries with a spoon if you prefer a smoother syrup.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, if using. Let the strawberry syrup cool completely.
  5. To assemble the Korean strawberry milk, place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry syrup (including some strawberry pieces) into the bottom of a tall glass.
  6. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
  7. Pour the cold milk over the syrup and ice.
  8. Stir gently to combine the milk and syrup before you drink it.

Notes

  • For a thicker, cafe-style drink, use whole milk or a creamy non-dairy milk like oat milk.
  • If you want a layered look, pour the milk slowly over the back of a spoon resting just above the syrup layer.
  • This homemade strawberry syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
