(Syzygium anisatum)
Anise myrtle is renowned for its highly aromatic leaves, which release a sweet and herbaceous liquorice-like fragrance when crushed. Native to the rainforests of eastern Australia, this exotic herb serves as an excellent substitute for star anise, fennel, or liquorice, allowing you to infuse a distinctively Australian flair into both sweet and savoury culinary creations. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as this herb can be quite potent. For brewing, infuse 1tsp per 250ml of boiling water, and steep for 10 minutes.
