Preparation

Step 1

Bring strawberries, water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt to boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil uncovered 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat to prevent mixture from boiling over. Add lemon juice. Strain, pressing on solids. Cover and chill syrup.

For milk shakes:
Place four 12-ounce glasses in freezer for 1 hour.

Place 1 cup Strawberry Syrup, 1 cup milk, and 1 pint ice cream in blender; purée until smooth. Add second pint of ice cream and purée until almost smooth. Divide mixture among frozen glasses.
