What does Korean strawberry milk taste like?

It tastes like creamy milk with sweet, fresh strawberry. It's very refreshing. If you add whipped cream, this drink will be extra sweet.

Can you make Korean strawberry milk ahead of time?

You can make the homemade strawberry sauce ahead of time and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a few days. But don't add the milk and fresh berry pieces until shortly before enjoying.

Is Korean strawberry milk healthy?

Homemade strawberry milk is healthier than the store bought version. There are nutrients from the strawberries and milk and no artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives. There is a little bit of sugar, but to make it healthier you can substitute with brown or raw sugar, or omit the sugar all together.

Are strawberry milk and strawberry latte the same thing?

You may see this drink go by both of these names in Korean cafes. The latte version is typically the same as the milk, but with a froth / whipped cream topping and perhaps some ice cream.

Description

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/4 cups (180g) strawberries, whole and de-stemmed (fresh or frozen*)

Instructions

Use a blender to purée the 1 ¼ cups (180 g) strawberries that we need to make the strawberry syrup.

Add the purée, sugar, and half the diced strawberries into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Continue to cook for 2 more minutes on medium-low, stirring occasionally.

Cool the strawberry syrup completely in the refrigerator. (If you don't completely cool the strawberry syrup before combining it with milk, you may cause the milk to curdle.)

Split the cooled syrup between 2 glasses (this recipe makes 2 servings). Use a spoon to swirl the syrup around in the glass to get some on the inner sides.

Pour in the milk. Top with whipped cream, if desired. Then split the remaining diced strawberry pieces between the glasses.

Notes

* For the strawberry purée, you can use fresh or frozen berries. But you will still need to add fresh berries later. And keep in mind that using fresh berries will give you a fresher fruit flavour. (If you are using frozen strawberries, add two tablespoons of hot water to the blender to purée with them.)
