# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The citrus syrup wakes up every single fruit flavor without being sweet or cloying
  • It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but looks like you put real thought into it
02 -
  • Add delicate fruits like banana right before serving or they will turn brown and mushy
  • The citrus syrup not only adds flavor but keeps cut fruits from oxidizing too quickly
03 -
  • Room temperature fruit has more flavor than fruit straight from the refrigerator
  • Use a glass bowl instead of metal so the citrus does not interact and create off flavors
