Notes
For Strawberry Powder:
Place one ounce of dehydrated strawberries into a blender and blend for about one minute until it is in powder form. Place the powder in a fine-meshed sieve and shake and stir to separate the seeds from the powder. Discard the seeds. One ounce of dehydrated strawberries will make approximately four tablespoons of powder.
