Inspired by the flavours of Egypt (the spark behind our Limited Edition Seshen), these overnight oats bring creamy coconut, fragrant cardamom and a pistachio crunch to your morning routine.
Drawing on the flavours and plants of Egypt, which served as the inspiration for our Limited Edition The Ritual of Seshen, this refined bowl keeps you energised till lunch.
With pistachios, coconut milk, cardamom and rose water, this breakfast is creamy, fragrant and crunchy. Pistachios, cardamom and rose water are Egyptian favourites you’ll taste across classic sweets. I batch it on Sunday, portion into pots and keep it in the fridge for the week – just multiply the ingredients by the days you want and enjoy calmer mornings.
