Notes

Highs: Favorite was Batch 4
- turmeric was excellent paired with the citrus

- overall very satisfied with the batch. Much better proportions and pairings. 

Lows: no least favorite
- Technically, batch 3 was last but only because it was similar to 4 but not as good.

*Batch 2 with the raspberries took on a strange flavor as it sat in the fridge for a few days. It reminds me of something a witch doctor would give you. Batch 5 was just extra I didn't have time to really bottle so I filled 1/2 gallon container
