# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The homemade strawberry sauce tastes infinitely better than anything store bought and takes just minutes to make
- Watching the milk swirl through the strawberry sauce never gets old, making it as fun to serve as it is to drink
02 -
- The sauce thickens as it cools, so dont panic if it looks thin right off the stove
- Room temperature milk will instantly kill the refreshing vibe, so keep it chilled until the very last second
03 -
- Taste your strawberries before adding sugar and adjust accordingly because sweet strawberries need less sugar than tart ones
- Pouring the milk over the back of a spoon is the secret to getting those perfect Instagram worthy swirls instead of instant muddy pink liquid
