    About Korean Strawberry Milk

    Korean Strawberry Milk is a popular beverage served in Korean cafes during summer. It is also served by the name Strawberry Latte, but it’s the same.

    This refreshing drink screams summer and is chunky, fruity, and very mildly sweet.

    Making this strawberry milk at home is super easy and you can make it from scratch using fresh or frozen strawberries, sugar, and milk of your choice.

    This drink is vegetarian and gluten-free and you just have to use any vegan milk to make it vegan-friendly.

    Making Korean-style strawberry milk at home has many benefits

    1. It tastes much better than the bought version.
    2. Homemade milk is made using best quality ingredients
    3. It has no artificial flavorings, colors, or preservatives.
    4. It is much more economical

    The best part is that it can be customized according to your requirements. Make it vegan by using coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk. Make it healthier by reducing the amount of sugar or using honey or maple syrup.

    A great summer snack, this strawberry-flavored milk recipe can easily be doubled, or tripled, depending on how many people you want to serve.

    Ingredients

    Korean strawberry milk ingredients.

    Strawberries – This drink can be made using fresh or frozen strawberries.

    In summer when strawberries are in season and they are cheap as well, I freeze them in bulk and keep using them around the year. Want to know how to freeze strawberries, then check out my post.

    Milk – Use whole milk for a creamy texture. To make it vegan, replace dairy milk with any plant-based milk like almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, or oats milk.

    Sugar – Adjust the sugar as per your liking. You can substitute sugar with honey or maple syrup, for a healthy alternative.

    How To Make Korean Strawberry Milk

    Make Strawberry Puree

    Rinse 200 g of strawberries and chop off their top leafy part.

    Note – If using frozen strawberries, then thaw them to room temperature.

    Add the strawberries to a blender and blend to make a smooth puree.

    Make Strawberry Syrup

    Add the strawberry puree, ¼ cup of white granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoon of chopped strawberries to a pan and cook on medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring frequently.

    Reduce the heat to low and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.

    Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture come down to room temperature.

    Ready strawberry syrup.

    Refrigerate the strawberry syrup for 1-2 hours until it is chilled.

    Make The Strawberry Milk

    Take two 16-ounce (500 ml) glasses and add half of the cooled strawberry syrup and 2 tablespoon of chopped strawberries into each glass.

    Swirl it up and around the glass to make a pattern.

    Now pour 1 cup of chilled milk of your choice into each glass and serve immediately with a stirrer. 

    Stir well before sipping.

    Note – You can top the drink with some whipped cream. You can also add a few ice cubes to the glasses.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    This milk can be made without cooking the strawberries and directly mashing them and adding them to the glass, but I personally feel that making strawberry syrup makes the milk more flavorful and rich.

    If you like your milk sweeter, then add some more sugar to the syrup.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is it good to drink Korean-style strawberry milk?

    When this milk is made at home from scratch, you are only using milk, strawberries, and sugar. There are no added preservatives, stabilizers, or artificial colors added to it. It’s perfectly healthy to drink homemade ones.
    Use skim milk and reduce the amount of sugar or replace the sugar with honey or maple syrup to make it healthier.

    Is strawberry milk good after a workout?

    This milk is a great base to add powdered supplements. Add a scoop of the supplement you are taking like whey protein, collagen, etc, and drink it pre or post-workout.

    Will strawberries curdle the milk?

    The acid in the strawberries can cause the milk to curdle. But the process of curdling will not happen immediately, especially if the milk and the strawberry syrup are chilled. Do not add this syrup to hot milk and never mix the syrup with milk to serve later. Instead, mix the required syrup in individual glasses of chilled milk and serve immediately.

    Serving Suggestions

    Korean Strawberry Milk can be served for breakfast or as a mid-day snack whenever hunger strikes. You can also enjoy it in the evening instead of tea or coffee.

    To make it richer, top it with vanilla or strawberry ice cream, whipped cream, caramel syrup, chocolate syrup, or even matcha syrup. Topping is great when you want to serve it to your guests.

    This drink is also great to serve on Valentine’s day.

    Storage Suggestions

    You can make the strawberry syrup and store it in the fridge in an air-tight container or a glass jar for 5-6 days. When ready to serve, stir it with milk and serve!
