Berry Milk
How fun does "Berry Milk" sound? And the fact that it can be purple, blue or pink - add that to the cool factor! My kiddos think this stuff is awesome - and I like that I know all of the ingredients! Oh, and it's sooooo simple to make!
Servings: 2 servings (plus extra syrup)
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen berries chopped
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ - 2 cups milk
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the berries, sugar and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to maintain a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- Using a mesh strainer, strain the mixture over a bowl. Discard the berries or save for another use, if desired. Allow the syrup in the bowl to cool slightly.
- Add about 3-4 tbsp. (or desired amount) of the syrup to two glasses. Divide the milk between the two glasses. Stir to combine. Serve!
- Refrigerate leftover syrup. When ready to use, add desired amount to milk.
