Description
Looking for a sweet and satisfying drink that tastes like it came straight from a trendy café? This Cafe Style Korean Strawberry Milk is exactly what you need.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (about 300g) of fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave, or your sweetener of choice)
- 2 cups plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, or cashew)
Optional:
- Extra chopped strawberries for texture
- Ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Hull and dice the strawberries into small pieces.
- Cook the Mixture: Add the strawberries and maple syrup to a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices (about 5 to 7 minutes).
- Mash the Fruit: Use a potato masher or fork to mash the softened strawberries into a chunky puree. Let the mixture cool completely.
- Assemble the Drink: Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry puree to each glass. Add a few ice cubes if you like.
- Pour the Milk: Gently pour your chilled plant-based milk over the puree. For that classic Korean café look, don’t mix too much—just give it a gentle swirl with a spoon or straw.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh while the colors are bright and flavors are vibrant!
Notes
- Use ripe, in-season strawberries for the best flavor and color.
- Let the strawberry syrup cool completely before adding milk to prevent curdling.
- Layer the drink instead of stirring it all together for a more café-style aesthetic.
