🥘 Ingredients In This Recipe

The printable recipe further down the page has the complete list of ingredients, including quantities and step-by-step instructions.

Almond milk - Depending on your diet, you could use sweetened or unsweetened almond milk. Homemade almond milk or store-bought almond milk can be used.

Sweetener - Use white granulated sugar or a vegan alternative to white granulated sugar like monk sugar or beet sugar. White sugar will help keep the milk color looking clear and fresh. 

Strawberries - you can use fresh or frozen strawberries.

🍽 Equipment

• You will require a saucepan, preferably one with a heavy base for cooking the strawberries to make a syrup. 

• You will also need a fine-meshed strainer to separate the strawberry solids from the syrup and for making a smooth strawberry pulp. 

🍳 Step By Step Instructions

Here's how to make strawberry almond milk.

Step 1 - Place the strawberries, sweetener, and ⅓ cup of water into a small saucepan, and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. 

Turn down the heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes while stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.

Step 2 - Pour the strawberry mixture into a strainer and drain it into a small bowl. 

If you want thin strawberry milk, discard the cooked strawberries or use them as topping on breakfasts like overnight oats. 

If you want thick strawberry milk, use the back of a metal spoon to push the cooked strawberries through the sieve and mix them into the syrup. 

Use the spoon to clean the pulp from the outside of the strainer and add it to the bowl. Discard the seeds left inside the stainer.

Step 3 - Place the almond milk into a large jug and pour in the strawberry syrup until well combined. 

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. 

Serve chilled.

Alternative fruit

For variety, you can replace the strawberries with other fresh or frozen fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or mangos.

Make it sugar-free

Replace the sweeteners and use Medjool dates instead.

🌡️ Storage

Refrigeration -  Store the strawberry milk covered in the fridge for up to seven days.

Freezing -  I would not recommend freezing strawberry almond milk because almond milk does not freeze well - it has a grainy texture when defrosted, which can be off-putting when drinking. 

However, if you have leftover strawberry almond milk, pour it into popsicle molds and enjoy it as a refreshing icy treat in summer. 

Or freeze them in ice cube trays and add them into the blender when making fruit smoothies.
