Cover the container tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent freezer burn and odor absorption.

Note
For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before freezing to remove seeds.
If your strawberries are not very sweet, you may increase the honey by 1-2 tablespoons. Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust sweetness as needed.
To make this sorbet dairy-free, substitute the milk with an equal amount of almond, oat, or coconut milk. Note that coconut milk may impart a slight coconut flavor.
Storage: Keep the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. For best texture, consume within 2 weeks.
Variation: Add a tablespoon of lemon juice for extra tanginess, or fold in fresh mint leaves for a herbal twist.
Tip: If you do not have a blender, you can mash the strawberries thoroughly with a fork before mixing with the other ingredients, though the texture may be slightly grainier.
