Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries: 1 pound fresh Strawberries
- Sweetener: ¼ cup, or adjust to taste
- Chilled Cold Milk: Dairy or plant based 1 ½ cups
- Ice cubes: optional, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare you strawberries by thoroughly rinsing them and they pat dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Chop ¼th of the strawberries into small tit bits.
- Crush ¾th of the strawberries in a mixing bowl using a masher or your hands. You can decide on the texture, leaving some chunkier bits for a rustic feel or mashing them to a puree for a smooth syrup.
- Add sweetness: Add sweetener of your choice over the crushed strawberries.
- Layer the drink by placing 2-3 tablespoons of your homemade strawberry syrup at the bottom of a tall. Next add the finely diced strawberry bits. If using ice, add it now. Slowly pour your cold milk over and it will settle on top of the strawberry syrup, creating a picturesque separation of white and red.
- Final Touch: Do not stir yet! Slice a fresh strawberry halfway through the middle and perch it on the rim of the glass as an edible garnish. Admire the beautiful layers, and when ready to enjoy, give it a good mix to combine all the flavors into a creamy, pink concoction.[mv_img id="35700"] [mv_img id="35701"]
Notes
Use fresh strawberries.If the strawberries are large to crush, cut them into halves or quarters and then crush.Crushing the strawberries enhances the taste as compared to blending the strawberries into a puree.Use a clear, tall glass to showcase the beautiful layers and colors of the drink.Always add milk to the glass as the final step before garnishing.Some recipes call for making a compote on the stove top, however it takes away the freshness away from the drink.
