KITCHEN TIPS: You can make a jam with more strawberries, cooking about 10 strawberries with three tablespoons of rice syrup and half a glass of apple juice. Let the strawberries go puree and let the liquid evaporate. You can blend everything or leave it like that, and put it as a topping to give it colour. And of course, add 1/2 grated tonka bean for the exotic flavour!
