Creamy Strawberry Sipper

Pink and pretty, this strawberry-infused milk punch is perfect for any celebration from Christmas to Mother’s Day. Make it with crème de cacao and vodka for an adult beverage, make it without for a family-friendly party or make a pitcher of both to keep everyone happy! Adding alcohol changes the flavor, but both versions are scrumptious.

In medium saucepan combine strawberries, sugar and water. Bring to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat. Gently simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Mash with potato masher. Simmer for 2 minutes more.

Set fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Press strawberry mixture through strainer, extracting as much juice as possible. Skim off and discard any foam from the strawberry juice surface. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to 1 week. (You should have about 2 cups juice.)

Before serving, stir together milk, half-and-half, crème de cacao (if desired), vodka (if desired) and vanilla. Stir in cold strawberry syrup. Pour into pitcher. Place 1 or 2 ice cubes in twelve 8- to 10-ounce glasses. Pour strawberry mixture over ice cubes. Garnish with fresh strawberries (if desired).
