Korean Fresh Strawberry Milk Recipe
Fresh homemade Korean strawberry milk made using only 3 ingredients. This recipe is fragrant, entirely natural, and requires no cooking!
Equipment
- 2 18-ounce bottles (500 grams) or 4 x 9-ounce bottles (250 grams)
Ingredients
- 3 ¼ cups fresh strawberries (400 grams)
- ¼ cup light brown sugar (60 grams)
- 1 ¾ cups full fat milk, cold (450 grams)
Optional
- ½ cup heavy cream (100 grams)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract
Instructions
- Wash, hull and chop the strawberries into small pieces.
- Place the chopped strawberries into a bowl, then sprinkle the sugar over them. Gently mix to spread the sugar evenly, but without crushing the strawberries.
- Cover with plastic wrap or a silicone lid, then rest the bowl in the fridge for at least 1 hour. The strawberries will soften a lot and release a lot of liquid.
- Pour the strawberry syrup (with chunks) into two 18-ounce bottles or four 9-ounce bottles. Use a funnel for ease and less mess.
- Pour cold milk on top. If heavy cream and vanilla is used, mix them into the milk prior to pouring it over the strawberries. Add ice cubes if needed.
- Shake well before drinking and enjoy!
Notes
- Nutritional value is estimative and it's calculated per serving (this recipe makes 2 servings) without heavy cream.
- Adjust sweetness by adding less sugar.
- Consume within the same day for the best flavour and texture.
