Main Ingredients
- 1 small container strawberry milk (approximately 8 oz)
- Whipped topping (as desired)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 drop pink gel food coloring
- 1 drop purple gel food coloring
Instructions
- Warm the Milk: Heat the strawberry milk for about 30 seconds either in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stovetop until hot but not boiling. Then pour the warmed milk into your preferred cup or mug.
- Prepare Colored Sugars: Spread the sugar evenly on a plate. Add one drop of pink gel food coloring to one tablespoon of sugar and mix well using the back of a fork. Repeat with purple gel food coloring on the other tablespoon of sugar to create vibrant colored sugars.
- Assemble the Drink: Top the warm strawberry milk with a generous amount of whipped topping. Then sprinkle both the pink and purple colored sugars over the whipped topping to add a festive and decorative finish.
Notes
- You can substitute regular milk with almond or oat milk for a different flavor or dietary preference.
- If gel food coloring is not available, liquid food coloring can be used but may require more mixing time.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar added to the colored sugar toppings.
- Be careful not to overheat the milk; it should be warm and pleasant to drink, not scalding hot.
- This recipe makes a single serving, but can be easily multiplied for a group.
