For the strawberries, bring the sugar and 225 ml water to the boil, ensuring the sugar has completely melted and formed a light syrup. Add the lime zest and juice and kaffir lime leaves and leave to cool. Halve the strawberries, place in a bowl and pour over the lime syrup. Refrigerate overnight.</
