Notes
- How to clean strawberries: Give the fruit a good rinse. Then soak in a big bowl of water mixed with baking soda and vinegar. The froth of the two chemicals pulls out all impurities. Drain the water. Rinse the berries again, so there is no trace of baking soda. Spread it on a kitchen towel to dry.
- Don’t feel like cutting fruit? Blitz the strawberries into a purée. Keep it smooth or a little chunky—the choice is yours.
- Constantly stir the berries while cooking the Korean strawberry syrup so it doesn’t burn.
- Homemade strawberry syrup stays good in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks, so make it ahead and keep using portions of it to whip up Korean strawberry milk whenever the mood strikes. You can also use this syrup to make strawberry madeleines or strawberry poke cake!
- Don’t forget to sterilize the jar. It kills all germs and bacteria and makes the syrup last longer.
- Never transfer hot strawberry syrup into a cool glass jar. It will shatter. So, make sure the strawberries have cooled completely.
- If serving one glass at a time, refrigerate the remaining strawberry syrup.
