Vegan Sweet Lemon Biscuit went really well with a cup of tea and I was really impressed with the flavour of the lemon. Howard told me they tasted really refreshing and he really enjoyed them. Obviously, he will always love his ginger biscuits but these ones came in a close second. They will last a good couple of weeks too. So a great stock cupboard keeper too. However you decide to eat these biscuits, as always, enjoy.
