Korean Strawberry Milk is a refreshing and sweet drink inspired by a popular Korean cafe beverage. It features a homemade strawberry syrup made from fresh strawberries, sugar, and a hint of lemon juice, combined with non-dairy milk for a creamy, fruity treat. Perfect for a quick and easy homemade refreshment.

Ingredients

For the Strawberry Syrup

  • 2 cups strawberries, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons cane or brown sugar
  • Large squeeze of lemon juice or lime juice

For the Macerated Strawberries

  • ¾ cup strawberries, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon cane or brown sugar

For Serving

  • 2-3 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as soy milk)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Macerate the Strawberries: In a small bowl, combine the ¾ cup diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir well to help draw out the juices, and set aside at room temperature while you prepare the syrup.
  2. Cook the Strawberry Syrup: In a pan, add the 2 cups diced strawberries along with 3 tablespoons sugar and a large squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Heat the mixture to a boil, then reduce to just above a simmer. Stir frequently and cook for about 10 minutes until the strawberries break down and the mixture becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and cool completely in the refrigerator.
  3. Assemble the Drink: In a glass, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the chilled strawberry syrup, followed by ¾ cup of your preferred unsweetened non-dairy milk and a handful of ice cubes. Top with about 1 tablespoon of the macerated strawberries. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
  4. Enjoy and Store: Taste and add more syrup or macerated strawberries if desired for extra sweetness or fruitiness. Store any remaining syrup and macerated strawberries in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

Notes

  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or strawberry syrup according to your taste preference.
  • Unsweetened soy milk is recommended for a creamy texture, but almond, oat, or other non-dairy milks work well too.
  • Make sure to cool the strawberry syrup completely before mixing with milk to keep the drink refreshing.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for entertaining guests.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
