Description
Tasmanian pepper leaf is a versatile and uniquely flavourful herb that is every bit as spicy as the berry! It is fantastic in baking – bread, muffins or cookies. As for the berry the spicy component will be mellowed out with longer cooking times. Other uses might include and casseroles.
The aroma is pure Tassie bush itself! Fresh, herbal, crisp, slightly sweet menthol with a hint of vanilla that will have you reminiscing about those great hiking trips in the Tasmanian wilderness. Because of its amazing aroma pepperberry leaf is highly sought after by distillers.
