Fresh Korean Strawberry Milk is a delightful and refreshing beverage made by simmering ripe strawberries with sugar, honey, and lemon juice to create a natural strawberry syrup, then mixing it with cold milk or coconut milk. This sweet, fruity drink captures the authentic flavors of Korean cafes and is perfect for a cool, satisfying treat anytime.

Ingredients

Strawberry Syrup

  • 1.5 lb fresh strawberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

To Serve

  • Milk or coconut milk, as desired
  • Ice cubes, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Cut the strawberries into cubes. Put about two-thirds of the strawberries into a medium pot to start creating the syrup.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Lemon: Add the honey, sugar, and lemon juice to the pot with the strawberries. Stir thoroughly to coat all the strawberries with the sugar and honey mixture.
  3. Simmer Mixture: Set the heat to medium and allow the mixture to simmer for 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning, and cook until the strawberries soften and release their juices, forming a sweet syrup.
  4. Add Remaining Strawberries: After 15 minutes, add the remaining fresh strawberries to the pot. Gently mix and cook for an additional 2 minutes to slightly soften these strawberries without breaking them down completely.
  5. Store Syrup: Transfer the strawberry syrup to a clean glass jar. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. The syrup can be kept in the fridge for up to three weeks.
  6. Serve Strawberry Milk: When ready to serve, add 2-4 tablespoons of the strawberry syrup to a glass, pour in cold milk or coconut milk, and add ice cubes. Shake or stir well to combine and enjoy the fresh Korean strawberry milk.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • The amount of syrup can be adjusted based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Substitute coconut milk for a dairy-free version that adds a subtle tropical twist.
  • Stirring frequently while simmering prevents the syrup from burning and ensures even cooking.
  • The syrup can also be used as a topping for desserts or mixed into yogurt.
