Lemon Myrtle is an Australian bush spice combining the tartness of lemon and the sweet flavour of basil. It is a delicate citrus herb and highly versatile for use in many food and drink products.
It can come as a herbal tea mix, ready to be sold in tea bags on store shelves, or in bulk for adding to tea blends. In foods, the herb can be used as a replacement for lemongrass, lemon zest or instead of the kaffa lime leaf in Asian-style cuisine.
In addition, it adds an aromatic flavour to sweet baked goods and desserts such as cookies, cheesecakes, lemon tarts and pies.
