You’ll need about 1 ½ to 2 cups of strawberries for this recipe. Frozen berries will work, but fresh is even better. Place them in a blender and pulse until they’re fully pureed. At this point there’s an optional step of straining any pulp and seeds out of the puree. Personally, the seeds don’t bother me and I think the pulp adds more flavor, but the final call is up to you here.
Now it’s time to mix everything up. Add fresh lemon juice (you definitely want to use fresh here, the bottled stuff is just not the same!), strawberry puree, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt to a pitcher of ice and stir until nice and smooth. If you don’t want your bevy quite as sweet feel free to spoon in the milk a little at a time until your desired sweetness is achieved. Add some chilled water for the last step and this gorgeous drink is ready to serve!
