LEMON MYRTLE LEAVES
Use as an additive when cooking any of your dishes.

Crush 2-3 leaves & infuse in your teapot

Serve as tea with honey, or keep the liquid and use as stock.

Use the lemon myrtle liquid to make your own “Rainforest Punch”-

Just add a sweetener such as honey, liquid sugar, raw sugar, then shave some Davidson Plum into this cordial mix, serve with mineral water, viola! You have a delicious drink. Keep your cordial mix in the fridge.

Put 4 leaves in your blender and blend them into a pepper look then add to any scone mix and serve with plum jam & clotted cream.

Add to pastry mix & use as that to enhance the flavour.

Use 2-3 leaves as “stuffing” in chicken or fish.
