Ingredients (Serves 2):

• 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
• 2 cups (480ml) cold milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberry Syrup:

   • In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and become soft (about 5-7 minutes).
   • Mash the strawberries with a fork or blend for a smoother texture. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional). Allow the syrup to cool.

2. Mix with Milk:

   • Divide the strawberry syrup evenly between two glasses. Add the vanilla extract, if using. Pour cold milk over the syrup and stir well to combine.

3. Serve:

   • Add ice cubes for extra chill, if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips and Variations:

• Sweeter Milk: Adjust the sugar amount or drizzle a little honey or maple syrup into the milk.
• Vegan Option: Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk for a plant-based alternative.
• Fruity Twist: Add a handful of raspberries or blueberries to the syrup for mixed berry milk.
• Creamier Texture: Use half milk and half cream for a richer flavor.
