1.5 lb strawberries
02 -
¼ cup sugar
03 -
3 tablespoons honey
04 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Milk or coconut milk

# Instructions:
01 -
Cut strawberries into cubes and add ⅔ of the strawberry into a pot.
02 -
In the pot, add honey, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well to ensure all the strawberries are coated in sugar.
03 -
Turn the heat to medium and let it simmer for 15 minutes until the strawberry gets soft; keep stirring to prevent it from burning.
04 -
After 15 minutes, add the remaining strawberries and gently mix to cook for another 2 minutes.
05 -
Store the strawberry syrup in a glass jar, and once it has cooled down, it can last in the fridge for three weeks.

Add around 2-4 tbsp syrup, pour in the milk, and ice. Shake it all up together when you are ready to drink!
# Notes:
01 -
Refreshing, delicious, and easy to make at home, fresh Korean strawberry milk is my go-to drink every summer.

PRO-TIP: make extra because this strawberry syrup tastes amazing on top of ice cream, milk bread, and waffles, and even use it to make delicious drinks!
03 -
It is crucial to get FRESH strawberries and clean them ahead of time to ensure that syrup can last a long time.
04 -
Clean strawberries by giving a quick rinse in the sink with cold tap water, and then soak in baking soda and water for 10 minutes before rinsing them off with cold running water and patting everything dry. You can also use salt water or vinegar instead of baking soda.
05 -
Since we are making a syrup, if any parts of the strawberries are slightly bruised, just cut that part off, but you can use the rest of the strawberries.
