Make refreshing homemade Korean strawberry milk using a simple, fresh strawberry syrup. This cafe style drink is quick to prepare and tastes much better than store-bought versions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for vegan option)
  • Optional: Whipped cream or boba pearls for serving

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. Mash any remaining large pieces with a spoon.
  4. Remove the strawberry syrup from the heat and let it cool completely. You can strain out the solids for a smooth syrup, or leave them in for texture.
  5. To assemble the Korean strawberry milk, place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry syrup into the bottom of a tall glass.
  6. Add ice cubes to the glass.
  7. Pour 1 cup of cold milk over the syrup and ice.
  8. Stir gently to combine the layers before drinking. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan strawberry milk, substitute regular milk with oat milk or coconut milk.
  • This recipe makes a concentrated strawberry syrup; adjust the amount used per glass to control sweetness.
  • Prepare the strawberry syrup ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
