Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup milk (whole, almond, or your preferred type)
- 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops using a small knife or a huller.
- Slice the strawberries into thin pieces to help them release their juices.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar, tossing gently to coat.
- Let the strawberries sit for about 10-15 minutes to create a delicious strawberry syrup.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, pour in the milk. If using sweetened condensed milk, add it now for a richer texture.
- Stir the milk and condensed milk together until well combined. Adjust sweetness to your taste.
- For a lighter version, skip the condensed milk and use regular milk.
- In a glass, add a few spoonfuls of the macerated strawberries along with some syrup.
- If desired, add a few ice cubes to the glass for a refreshing touch.
- Slowly pour the milk mixture over the strawberries to create a layered effect.
- Give the drink a gentle stir if you prefer a more blended flavor.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
- Garnish with whole strawberries or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for added flair.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy!
