Lemon Myrtle
Backhousia citriodora
Lemon Myrtle has long been used in Aboriginal cuisine and medicine, and its leaves have an intensely citrus fragrance and flavour.
Undoubtedly the most popular of Australia’s native herbs, Lemon Myrtle’s fresh, tangy leaves are used in teas, syrups, glazes, cakes, biscuits, dressings, sauces, ice creams, dips and some meat dishes.
To use, just pluck fresh leaves as needed, removing no more than one-third of the plant at a time.
