Ingredients

2 cups strawberries hulled and diced (a little over half a pound)
⅓-½ cup sugar*
⅔ cup water
5 cups milk of choice I tested this with 2% as well as oatmilk - see instructions below for making a single serving of the milk vs. a larger batch

Instructions

Place the strawberries, sugar, and water in a medium pot over medium high heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring often, for 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl. Use a spatula to gently press the strawberries down to remove all of the juice. Once all of the juice has been strained out, discard the strawberries. Allow the juice to cool before mixing it with your milk.
To make a single serving of the strawberry milk: mix together 1 cup of cold milk with 3-4 tablespoons of the juice. Start with 3 and add more as desired. Store leftover juice in the fridge (up to 2 weeks) to make the milk as desired.
To make a large batch of the strawberry milk: mix together 5 cups of cold milk with most/ all of the strawberry juice and stir/ shake until fully combined. Store leftovers in the fridge and shake well before serving.

Notes

I usually use ½ cup sugar, but if you like it less sweet, start with ⅓ cup and add more to taste. Store the strawberry juice in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or store finished strawberry milk in the fridge for as long as the milk itself keeps - give it a shake before pouring.
