Rinse the strawberries and wipe them with a paper towel to remove any water on the surface.
Take a mixing bowl and add the fresh strawberries. Use a masher or your hands to crush them to your desired size. You may leave a few small pieces for added texture or puree the strawberries if you prefer smoother texture.
Add sugar and lemon juice and mix well. Let the mixture sit at room temperature until the sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally. This may take up to 30 minutes.
Note: Once you have made the syrup, you can either use it right away or store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for a couple of days. This will help to blend the flavors and intensify the color.

Pour 4 tablespoons of the strawberry syrup into a glass and pour 1 cup of milk on top. Garnish with chopped fresh strawberries if desired. The fresh strawberry syrup can last in the fridge for up to 2 months.

Wide straws are the ideal choice for serving this milk, as their larger diameter allows small pieces of strawberry to pass through. If you prefer to use regular straws, be sure to crush the strawberries finely or puree them when making the syrup to prevent clogging.
Other types of milk work great too, such as oat milk, almond milk, and coconut milk, etc.
