1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest, plus more for garnish
Scant 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 cup heavy cream
2 pints lemon sorbet
Directions
Put the strawberries in a large heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the honey with the lime juice and bring to a boil.
