How to: Fresh Strawberry Milk

Ingredients

• 15 pieces Strawberries (washed, hulled, room temperature; 10 for puree, 5 diced for topping)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (adjust sweetness to taste; can replace half with honey for a lighter version)
• 2 cups Whole Milk (chilled; can use any milk of choice)
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey (optional) (use instead of part of the sugar for a healthier sweetener)

Instructions

1. Prepare Strawberries

   Wash all strawberries, remove the stems, and let them come to room temperature. Separate 10 strawberries for the puree and dice the remaining 5 for topping.

   Time: PT5M

2. Mash Strawberries and Add Sugar

   Place the 10 strawberries in a mixing bowl and mash them with a fork until mostly smooth. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the mash and stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.

   Time: PT3M

3. Cook the Puree

   Transfer the mashed strawberries and sugar to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Once boiling, stir for another 20‑30 seconds and then remove from heat.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

4. Cool the Puree

   Allow the strawberry puree to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes so it thickens slightly and cools enough to handle.

   Time: PT5M

5. Sterilize Glass Jars (Optional)

   If you plan to store the drink for more than a day, wash the glass jars, then place them in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes or run them through a dishwasher’s sterilize cycle.

   Time: PT5M

6. Assemble the Strawberry Milk

   Into each jar, spoon about 2‑3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry puree, then pour chilled milk until the jar is almost full, leaving space for the diced strawberries. Top with the fresh diced strawberries.

   Time: PT5M

7. Chill and Serve

   Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. When ready, give the jar a good shake and enjoy.

   Time: PT30M
