Mornings in Lagos do not wait for anybody. Here is how to fit honey in before you face the traffic.
1. Warm water and lemon
A cup of warm (not boiling) water, a squeeze of lemon and a spoon of honey. Stir and drink while you dress.
2. In your pap or oats
Skip the sugar. Stir in honey once the pap has cooled a little so you can actually taste it.
3. On agege bread
Butter first, honey on top. The children will not complain. Neither will you.
4. In your tea
Black tea, green tea, lemongrass, whatever you like. Add the honey last.
5. Straight from the spoon
Before a morning workout, one spoon and go. Simple.
One gentle reminder: honey is not for babies under one year old. For everybody else, enjoy.
