01 -

The orange zest wakes up every sleepy spoonful like a little bright secret
You can customize the toppings endlessly based on what is sitting in your fruit bowl
It costs almost nothing but feels like something you would order at a fancy cafe

02 -

The porridge continues thickening after you remove it from heat, so stop cooking while it still looks slightly loose
Zest the orange before you cut it or you will never get those precious little flecks of bright flavor
Frozen berries work in a pinch but they will turn everything purple, which is actually kind of beautiful

03 -

Toast your nuts in a dry pan for two minutes before sprinkling them on, it transforms the flavor completely
Add the orange zest at the very end so the essential oils stay bright and fresh
