Grate your radish finely and place in cheesecloth or a clean towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can to avoid watery butter.
In a bowl, whip the softened butter until light and fluffy.
Fold in the grated radish, green onion, thyme, honey, salt, pepper and lemon zest (if using). Mix gently until combined.
Pack into a ramekin or shape into a log using parchment paper. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
