A refreshing and visually stunning drink made with layers of homemade strawberry compote, fresh fruit chunks, and cold milk. Korean strawberry milk is the perfect balance of sweet, fruity, and creamy — a cafe-style treat you can easily make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups milk (whole or plant-based)
  • Ice cubes
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and water.
  2. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until thick and syrupy.
  3. Remove from heat and let the compote cool completely.
  4. In each tall glass, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of compote into the bottom.
  5. Add ice cubes and a few extra chopped strawberries if desired.
  6. Slowly pour cold milk over the layers to create a swirling effect.
  7. Top with extra syrup or a strawberry slice if you like.
  8. Serve immediately with a straw or long spoon.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for best flavor and color.
  • Let the compote cool fully before assembling to avoid melting the ice.
  • You can double the compote recipe and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
