Korean Strawberry Milk

For today’s strawberry-themed event, Claire asked me to make one of her current favorite drinks- Korean Strawberry Milk (생딸기우유)! A simple strawberry syrup is layered with diced fresh strawberries and topped off with cold milk for quite the refreshing drink. There are only three ingredients in all and the longest part is waiting for the strawberry syrup to cool before combining everything together.

A few cafes here in Los Angeles feature the drink and Claire really developed a love for it over the last year through INKCoffee&Craft’s drink delivery service. Unfortunately, they stopped delivering in December 2020 (which drove the push to make it at home), but I actually just learned this week that they have rebranded as Fence Coffee Company and will be opening a retail location soon!

Claire has also enjoyed the Iced Strawberry Latte from Frenz Coffee (recently merged with Alibi Coffee Co.), Strawberry Milk from Sharp Specialty Coffee, and the Seoul Strawberry Milk from Smoking Tiger Coffee & Bread.

A Few Tips

Adjust the amount of sugar as desired and based on the quality of strawberries. During peak season, I usually add 3 tablespoons and will increase to 4 tablespoons if they are not as sweet. I have also come across recipes that use sweetened condensed milk in place of the sugar. Others do a combination of sugar and honey.

The strawberry syrup can be prepared up to a day or two in advance and refrigerated until needed. Before simmering, roughly mash the strawberries with a potato masher, fork, or even your hands for a variety of texture. For a more smooth sauce, use a blender and puree until smooth. Adjust the cooking time between 2-5 minutes to create a thinner or thicker syrup. The longer you cook the syrup, the thicker it will become (and may have more difficulty combining with the milk).

If using a straw, try to find a thicker one and dice the strawberries small enough so they will fit through.

For a richer drink, add a splash of cream.
