Recipe Notes
Adjust Creaminess: Modify the richness by adjusting the ratio of water, milk, and sweetened condensed milk—more milk yields a thicker drink.
Strain Seeds: For a smooth and silky texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove strawberry seeds.
Serve Chilled: This drink is best enjoyed ice-cold—serve directly from the refrigerator or over ice for maximum refreshment.
Sweetness Balance: Taste before serving; add more sweetened condensed milk or a touch of sweetener if you prefer it sweeter.
Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 2 days, stirring before serving as separation may occur.
