Go stock up on some strawberries, and let’s make FRESH Korean Strawberry Milk from scratch!
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!
I remember my first time seeing Fresh Korean Strawberry Milk at my local Korean Coffee Shop, it is the most aesthetically pleasing drink ever, and I had to try it.
After the first sip, I immediately fell in love; it was so tasty it felt like I was eating a slice of strawberry shortcake!
The strawberry is sweet and super fresh. You get chunks of delicious strawberries with no artificial flavoring.
There are many ways to make Fresh Korena Strawberry Milk, but this is the go-to version that I find to be the easiest and freshest.
Fresh Korean Strawberry Milk is SUPER easy to make, and the best part?
It is done with only four simple ingredients with no artificial flavor! All you need is fresh strawberries, honey, sugar, and lemon juice.
The syrup can be made in bulk and last in the fridge for three weeks. You can also store the Korean Fresh Strawberry Milk premade in a jar and just shake it up when you are ready to drink!
If you are lactose, you can swap the milk with coconut milk, which will taste just as delicious.
I get my strawberries from Costco and local farmers.
It is crucial to get FRESH strawberries and clean them ahead of time to ensure that syrup can last a long time.
I like to clean my strawberries by giving a quick rinse in the sink with cold tap water, and then I let them 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. 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.
