Fresh Strawberry Milk Recipe

 

Happy Valentine’s Day my friends!  I wanted to post a very quick and easy and sweet recipe to make with the kids.

This is really delicious in summer especially when strawberries are so sweet- you don’t need any sugar for fresh strawberry milk.  In the winter when the berries aren’t as fresh and ripe, I use either 1/4 cup sugar or up to 1/2 cup sugar.  You will get quite a bit of puree from this recipe so many glasses of this yummy milk or try it drizzled over a spinach salad, fresh mango and yogurt or pancakes.

Strawberry Milk recipe

I like to add the strawberry puree and milk to a mason jar and just shake it up to incorporate but you can also just stir it.  If the seeds are an issue, you can always run the puree through a strainer too.

Post simmering, the mixture should be fragrant and fresh.  Pop in a blender to puree and you will wind up with a liquidy version of jam.

And I love to have the kids help with stuff like this.  My big girl got some practice chopping fruit. We had this with pancakes for Valentine’s Day breakfast this morning.

I think it would be adorable for movie night or slumber parties or maybe make a batch and sit on the couch with a stack of Pinkalicious books this summer.

    This is way better than store-bought strawberry milk.
