Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) real dairy milk
- ½ cup (75 grams) fresh strawberries
Sweeteners:
- 1 tablespoon (12 grams) brown sugar
Spices:
- ¼ teaspoon (1 gram) ground ginger
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: whole milk, ripe strawberries, ground ginger, and brown sugar.
- Transfer fresh strawberries, milk, ground ginger, and brown sugar into a high-powered blender.
- Pulse and blend the mixture until completely smooth, ensuring no strawberry chunks remain.
- Carefully transfer the vibrant pink liquid into a small saucepan, maintaining a gentle motion to prevent splashing.
- Position the saucepan over medium heat, stirring periodically to distribute warmth evenly and prevent milk from sticking to the bottom.
- Monitor the liquid closely, watching for steam to rise and tiny bubbles to form around the edges, indicating it’s reaching the perfect temperature.
- Remove from heat just before the mixture reaches a full simmer, preserving the delicate flavors and preventing scalding.
- Slowly pour the warm, aromatic strawberry milk into a cherished mug, allowing the comforting aroma to envelop your senses.
- Optionally, garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or a light dusting of ground ginger for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Easily customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of brown sugar to suit your taste preferences.
- Fresh strawberries provide the most vibrant flavor, but frozen berries work wonderfully as a convenient alternative.
- Warming the milk brings out the natural sweetness of strawberries and helps blend the spices more effectively.
- Ground ginger adds a subtle, warming kick that complements the fruity strawberry base perfectly.
- For a creamier texture, use whole milk or try a plant-based alternative like oat or almond milk.
- Serve immediately after heating to enjoy the full aromatic experience and optimal temperature.
