Loved for its distinct fruity berry-eucalypt spicy flavour and aroma
The beautiful leaf of the Strawberry Gum, Eucalyptus olida, can be used both fresh and dried. Jams, desserts, baked goods as well as in teas, its a delicious native herb to get to know.Just after the 2nd World War it was used to create cordials. Its unique flavour was a component in perfumes and household disinfectants.Cooking, especially in creamy desserts this Australian native herb really shines, try making a Panna Cotta and adding some Strawberry Gum, its a real crowd pleaser. Don't use too much, as with most Australian natives they are strong. Get to know the flavour you want and let it work its magic.I've often used it in cooking vegetables like sweet potatoes in foil. Just chop up the sweet potatoes, lay on foil, a light cover of olive oil, some salt and ground pepperberry, then a little strawberry gum, cook in oven and serve.Strawberry Gum Tea
