About Strawberry Milk
Strawberry Milk is a homemade drink made by mixing fruit sauce with milk and it taste so good. Unlike milkshakes where fruits are blended directly, here strawberries are cooked and made into sauce first then mixed with milk. This gives a different taste and texture and it feels more flavourful. It is a simple and quick recipe and anyone can make.
The texture of this drink is smooth and with slight pulp if you keep it as it is. It has a mild sweet and fruity flavour and it is not too heavy to drink. The strawberry sauce gives a rich taste. It feels light and refreshing and good for hot days. It is also good for serving guests at home.
There are few variations you can try with this recipe and you can adjust based on your liking. You can strain the puree for smooth texture or keep it pulpy as per choice. You can also add vanilla essence for extra flavour so this recipe you can change easily. Some also use sugar instead of honey for sweetness.
I make this drink when strawberries are in season and fresh and it is easy to prepare and can be made quickly without much effort. I like to keep the sauce ready in fridge and mix whenever needed.
