Sometimes we need to shake up our world. Let’s do it with a homemade Strawberry Milk. Don’t mistake this drink for a milkshake because it’s not the same thing. It’s a drink or a dessert depending on who you ask. Most importantly it gives us some variation in life, which sometimes we desperately need.
The market is flooded with bubble tea, frappes, ice coffees, lattes and whatever else you can name. It’s probably not the first dessert beverage on anyone’s radar. Is there still a place for strawberry milk? Be the fruitloop in a bowl full of cheerios. While the lineups this summer are going to be long for everything else, why not beat the line and treat yourself to strawberry milk.
