I’ve hosted a small get together at my friends house. We bought the stuff from http://www.buy-miracle-fruit.com. We got some berries and tablets and tried EVERYTHING.
I’ve searched for some recipes and found some truly original ideas on http://www.miraclefruitworld.com/Miracle-Fruit-Recipes/
Can’t wait to taste how sweet key lime pie tastes like 🙂
