Ingredients

4 ripe strawberries, hulled
1 tsp Sugar (optional)
150 ml cold milk (dairy or plant-based)

Method

Crush the strawberries roughly with a fork in a glass or bowl, leaving some chunky pieces.
Stir in the sugar if your berries are not very sweet and leave for 2 min so the juice runs.
Pour over the cold milk, stir and drink with a spoon for the fruit at the bottom.

Tips

Ripe, fragrant berries make all the difference; out of season, a spoonful of strawberry jam helps.
Use oat or soy milk for a dairy-free, vegan version.
