Korean Strawberry Milk – 딸기유
Korean Strawberry Milk – 딸기유 popped up a few years ago in Korea. Many cafes sell this milk, particularly when strawberries are in season.
Korean strawberry milk is made with three simple ingredients – fresh strawberries, sugar, and milk. All you need to do is mash the clean and trimmed strawberries with a masher or crush them using your fingers, combine them with sugar and wait until they mingle well. Then take a few scoops of thickened strawberry syrup out into a cup, then pour your choice of milk.
Seriously, this is the best kind of strawberry milk I ever had. It is so delicious and refreshing that you won’t be able to look at other types of strawberry milk the same way anymore!
And don’t forget, #LifesDelicious, so enjoy it!

Ingredients
- 140g / 5 ounces fresh strawberries, washed and stems removed (or frozen strawberries can be used)
- 70g / 2.5 ounces raw sugar (or white sugar)
- 2 cups of milk (your choice, I used full cream milk)
- (Optional) 2-3 ice cubes
Instructions
1. Dice the strawberries into smaller pieces or use your hands/masher to mash them. (Or you can adopt both methods to give an interesting texture.).
If using frozen strawberries, you can use a blender. If so, add the frozen strawberries and 2 Tbsp of hot water to a blender and gently mix them around to lightly thaw the frozen strawberries.
Turn up the blender, using the lowest spin mode, until you get your desired texture. (Blending for a short burst of time will give you a chunkier texture and blending a bit longer will give you a smoother texture.)
2. Transfer the diced/mashed/pureed strawberries into a medium-size bowl and add the sugar. Mix them well. Chill the bowl in the refrigerator for 1 – 2 hours, covered.
3. Prepare the serving cups and add 4 Tbsp of strawberry syrup into each cup. (You can add more or less depending on your preference.) Pour over the milk. Serve immediately. To drink mix the milk and strawberry syrup well with a straw.
