Strawberry Soy Milk

This ended up being absolutely delicious. I absolutely love strawberries and I'm so excited for summer when strawberries are plentiful and ripe. They are just the perfect fruit.

Strawberry Soy Milk

Adapted from The Pastry Affair

1 and 1/2 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen), sliced (I used fresh)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups soy milk

In a medium saucepan, boil the strawberries, sugar, water, and vanilla for 10-12 minutes, or until the strawberries release all their juices and the mixture is slightly thickened. 

Remove from heat and run the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Refrigerate the syrup until cool.

Stir together the syrup and milk (if too sweet, you could add 1/2 cup more milk to dilute the flavor) and serve in chilled glasses.
