This chilled beverage combines fresh strawberries blended with milk to create a vibrant pink puree, mixed with steaming milk and served over ice. The final drink has a smooth, creamy texture with bright, fruity flavors and a colorful appearance that evokes summer cheer.
Equipment
- Blender
- Milk frother or saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced if large
- 1 cup milk whole or your preferred type
- 1 cup ice
- 2 teaspoons honey or sweetener optional, to taste
Instructions
- Place the strawberries and honey into the blender and blend until smooth, creating a vibrant red puree with a slightly thick consistency.
- Pour the milk into a small saucepan or use a milk frother to steam it until hot and frothy, filling your kitchen with a warm, milky aroma.
- Add the ice and strawberry puree to your glass, filling about halfway to create a colorful base for the drink.
- Slowly pour the hot steamed milk over the ice and strawberry layer, watching as it gently mixes and creates a layered, pink-tinged surface with a creamy texture.
- Stir gently to blend the layers for a uniform pink hue and smooth consistency, ensuring the drink is well mixed but retaining a luscious, creamy look.
- Optionally, garnish with a fresh strawberry or a sprig of mint for a touch of color and aroma.
Notes
Adjust sweetness with honey or sweetener as desired. For a stronger strawberry flavor, add more berries during blending.
