Easy Quarantine Drink: Fresh Strawberry Milk

We've made it to May! Wuhoo! I hope everyone's doing fine despite the pandemic that's happening around the globe. And since this is our second month on an intelligent lockdown (or RMO/Restricted Movement Order / ECQ/Enhanced Community Quarantine in your areas), there's nothing more to do but try a lot of things. Well for this post, it is not something that I just recently saw online but a regular drink that I normally have every time we go to Europe. Because strawberries are always very easy to find, and sometimes comes in a very good deal, there's always a bucket or two in the fridge. (Oh wait, have you heard the new trend, WHIPPED STRAWBERRY MILK? I just looked it up prior to this post.)



It is actually inspired by our dear daughter (a friend who we call and treat as a daughter cause why not? She's lovely! Haha) in The Philippines. She loves aesthetic and fancy drinks and I've seen her made some before. If I am not mistaken, it is a Korean drink (or maybe Japanese).



The IG trend #whippedstraberrymilk is made of strawberry Nesquik, heavy cream and milk. Well, I do not have pink nesquick at hand and I love being natural. All I used was fresh strawberries, a teaspoon of sugar and a splash of cold milk.

I chopped the strawberries into small pieces, set the half aside and mashed the other half. With the mashed part, I added sugar and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds. After it cooled off a bit, I poured it in a glass, added a splash of cold milk, and topped it with the remaining strawberries. That's it. Sugar isn't actually necessary, I mostly omit it but this time, I want it to be a little sweeter.



And there is your fresh and yummy strawberry milk, perfect at any time of the day.

Here's a short video of how I made it. Enjoy watching!
