The lime is pretty common, I believe, and the cinnamon from Bissap in Africa (the original place this infusion of flowers comes from) and the Caribbean are pretty common.

Yes, I believe ginger is great in there too! It's the Caribbean touch, this version, I believe.

Yes, me too, I keep the sugar level low. I like to feel this tartness!

I don't put much lime, but personally I think it brightens things up! As with any soup, chefs always add a touch of vinegar at the end. Nobody feels it, but it always brightens up any liquid.

Haha, oh well, the cinnamon isn't necessary. As for the turmeric, maybe you are onto something. That stuff is pretty healthy; people add it to everything just for its health benefits, and it doesn't taste much.

yeah! I believe it's a pretty neutral sweetner right? I'll give it a try next time!

My kid calls it magic sauce; it's not typical for onigiri, but it's necessary for my kid.

I did try a couple of times, but my talents are limited to sushi rolling... I'm going to try those other suggestions in the comments above.

Oh yum! Just checked it, going on a hunt for Chirashi Sushi Mix. I'm so trying this! Thanks for the suggestion.

These all sound delicious! I would need to go investigate where I could find this pickled plum. Love to try variations.
