- 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries by washing, hulling, and slicing them. Add honey and let them macerate for 15-20 minutes.
