# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The citrus syrup wakes up every single fruit without overpowering their natural sweetness
  • It comes together in fifteen minutes but looks like you put way more thought into it
02 -
  • Bananas and apples will turn brown and mushy so add them right before serving if you must include them
  • The fruit will release more liquid as it sits so do not add extra juice even if it looks dry at first
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife for soft fruits like strawberries to keep them from squishing
  • Stir with a silicone spatula instead of a metal spoon to avoid bruising delicate berries
