Step 1

Place the strawberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan set over medium heat. Simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 2

Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the strawberry mixture through the strainer. Use the back of a spoon to press the strawberries against the strainer, extracting as much juice/syrup as possible. If there is any foam on top of the syrup you can scoop it off now. Chill the syrup.

Step 3

To serve: pour ¾ cup of milk into a glass and add syrup to taste (I add about 3-4 tablespoons). Stir and serve.
