Doesn't it remind you of your childhood? It looks so pretty. It's Strawberry Milk!

Made with homemade Strawberry Syrup. None of that bottled stuff.
I was inspired to make this by a post on The Kitchn. I couldn't wait to try it. During my childhood I never liked chocolate milk, anything chocolate or candy per se. I used to be a weird kid.

But I've always wanted to try Strawberry Milk, so I bought a bottle of syrup. It was good, not great. As soon as a I saw this recipe, literally ran to the kitchen to make it.

It's so easy, and it'll only take 10 minutes of your time. I promise!  

1 cups sliced frozen Strawberries
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Water
1/4 tsp Vanilla (optional)
 

-In a sauce pan, add the water, sugar and strawberries and boil for 10-12 minutes. The mixture will reduce and thicken a bit.

-After they're done, strain the mixture. Use the leftover fruit to eat with yogurt or ice cream, don't just throw it away.

-Wait until it cools , then add 3 tbsp to 8 ounces of chilled milk.


Enjoy your drink! 

Pour the syrup over ice cream, oatmeal, yogurt or granola.
