Anise Myrtle leaves have a sweet herbal anise or liquorice flavour. It is perfect for both savoury and sweet dishes, especially as it helps balance flavours by adding a little touch of sweetness.

Oz Tukka’s Anise Myrtle is a great flavouring in desserts and biscuits.  It is often used with pork, fish, vegetables, glazes, marinades and dressings.

Oz Tukka’s Anise Myrtle leaves make a delicious and refreshing tea.

Method: Add freshly boiled water into a tea pot together with a teaspoon of leaves. Alternatively add the myrtle leaves straight into a tea strainer and allow to brew (either in your cup or teapot). Enjoy!
