Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh ripe strawberries, washed and hulled
- 1 cup whole milk, cold
Sweeteners
- 2 teaspoons sugar or preferred sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute), adjustable to taste
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Ice cubes, to serve
Instructions
- Prep the Strawberries: Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Chop roughly if using a regular blender for quicker blending, or keep whole if using a powerful blender for a smoother texture.
- Blend the Ingredients: Add the strawberries, cold whole milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract into your blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, with the strawberries fully broken down into a pink liquid.
- Strain (Optional): For a silky smooth texture without seeds or pulp, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a jug or bowl.
- Chill and Serve: Pour the strawberry milk over ice cubes or refrigerate before serving. Stir gently to recombine any separated layers for best refreshment.
Notes
- Use ripe strawberries for maximum natural sweetness and reduce added sugar.
- Start with cold milk to keep the drink refreshingly chilled.
- Adjust sweetness gradually to avoid overpowering flavors.
- A splash of vanilla extract enhances the strawberry’s natural sweetness.
- Blend longer for a frothy, café-style creamy texture.
