Notes

How to make bircher museli

Combine 2 cups dry muesli with 2 cups milk, ¼ cup apple juice, and 2 tablespoons honey. Add 1 peeled and grated apple and 1-2 tbsps lemon juice so the apple doesn't turn brown. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to enjoy, divide the mixture into bowls and top with yogurt, berries, or stewed dates. It will keep for 4 days, refrigerated.
