About it
Strawberry milk belongs to the flavored-milk family that includes banana and vanilla milks around the world. The flavor is carried in a syrup blended into the milk before pasteurization, so it is uniform rather than layered like a homemade version.
Storing it
Keep the carton closed; shake gently before pouring. It freezes for up to 2 months with some separation on thawing.
Using it
Serve strawberry milk ice cold. Blend it with vanilla ice cream for a strawberry shake, or steam it gently for a warm drink.
Swaps & pairings
Milk plus strawberry syrup is the exact homemade formula. A strawberry kefir or yogurt drink swaps in with more tang and body.
