# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The citrus syrup wakes up every single fruit flavor without overwhelming them
  • It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but looks like you put real thought into it
02 -
  • Add the citrus syrup right before serving, otherwise the fruit starts breaking down and gets mushy
  • Do not use bananas or apples in advance, they turn brown and soggy within an hour
03 -
  • Taste your fruit before adding any honey, perfectly ripe fruit needs absolutely nothing extra
  • The citrus syrup amount is flexible, trust your instincts and adjust based on how much fruit you actually have
