Strawberry Milk, Anyone????
As a child I LOVED Strawberry Quik (not that we were able to purchase it often). I LOVED chocolate milk,too, but sometimes I wanted a lighter tasting something ( not realizing why at the time). So strawberry milk was just the thing.
I now, with my children, LOVE making things for them that I liked but healthier. We also LOVE to make the Sabbath Day ( Sunday) a delight in every way. So this last Lord's Day we had one of those plastic clam shells filled with BIG, JUICY, RED strawberries ( you know what I'm talking about. (wink))..........anxiously waiting to be experimented with.......So in they went into the blender (although we made this in batches). Spinning whole strawberries; when complete, a ruddy wine. In went two pinches of brown sugar ( b/c I can't stand for something NOT to taste good, even if I've never made it before), and before long.......a stream of cream ( milk) followed by a stream of soy milk. Although we can't do the cream too much ( for numerous reasons) it just added another creamy depth (even though soy milk is very creamy and thick, especially when blended. It froths up nicely). Strain and pour into a very BIG cup!!!! Try not to use the excuse when driking,"I'm just making sure it's gonna taste good enough for you."
I'm sure you could add some vanilla, but I wanted to taste the pureness of strawberries and cream.
As well, I'm sure this is nothing new, just a thinned out, strained out version of a shake, but I do like the change in texture of this strawberry milk.
I just saw a recipe for strawberry milk by making a syrup out of fresh strawberries and then adding it to milk. I'm sure I'll try that, too, but I kind of like to keep my strawberries raw.
FYI: Strawberries contain more vita. C than oranges!!!:D
Anyways...........That's what we made for Sunday breakfast..........and now........TODAY!!! hehehe
Happy drinking.:(D <- milk mustache
