    NOTES : I guess you could use all kinds of flavours for this but I’m such a berry freak. Citrus would go nicely, as would any drived fruit and nuts if you wanted to go in that direction. Sweeten it a little and you could even have it as a dessert or, in smaller portions, as a mid afternoon snack
