This refreshingly zesty OO recipe packs a real lemon punch to leave your taste buds feeling wide awake.
Honey and lemon are a classic pairing, and there’s something very warming about these OO’s. A simple recipe to make, this is a great one to try out when making overnight oats for the first time.
You can always pop in a slice or two of whole lemon to infuse extra lemon and zest flavour, and then finish off before eating by grating fresh oily zest over the top.
