Lemon Myrtle Leaf

Lemon Myrtle's aroma is a delightful fusion of lemon verbena, lemongrass, and kaffir lime, with a subtle eucalyptus undertone. Its flavor profile is distinctly lemony and tangy, featuring distinct notes of lime zest. Lemon Myrtle leaf is a delightful choice for crafting a refreshing tea. Enjoy it on its own or paired with green tea for a zesty and invigorating substitute for coffee or black tea. In the realm of culinary artistry, dry Lemon Myrtle leaves can be crushed or ground, lending their exquisite flavor to spice rubs, marinades, flavored vinegars, salad dressings, and dips. Picture it enhancing the flavor of your scones or muffins for a natural lemony delight.

This versatile herb beautifully complements a wide array of dishes, from seafood and poultry to ice cream and sorbet. Unlike citrus fruits, Lemon Myrtle's acidity-free character is a boon in milk and cream-based recipes, delivering a bold lemony flavor without causing curdling. It's important to note that Lemon Myrtle is best suited for recipes with shorter cooking times, as prolonged cooking may intensify its eucalyptus notes.
