Notes
- ALWAYS use freshly squeezed lime juice from an actual fresh lime so you don't get a bottled metallic flavor. Fresh squeezed lime juice offers more of the delicate fresh citrus compounds, including some vitamin C and aromatic plant compounds.
- Sweetness factor is such a personal preference, so use more or less, honey, depending on YOUR family's taste preferences. If your strawberries are really sweet, then you’ll likely want to skip the honey altogether. Taste test until you get it just right.
