The best part of this recipe is the strawberry honey I used from the brand Wild Forest Remedies. It’s smooth, naturally sweet and strawberry twist makes it feel like a treat rather than healthy. My younger kid never really liked honey due to its strong aroma. It’s usually been a struggle to include it in his food. But this strawberry honey turned out to be different.
The strawberry flavour blends perfectly with honey and masks intense natural aroma of honey, making it much more enjoyable. Check out Wild Forest Remedies for strawberry flavoured honey that I used in this recipe.
