Lemon Myrtle

Crushed Dehydrated Leaves

Gin Botanicals 25g

Lemon myrtle gives a nice unique lemon flavour to your gin.

We use lemon myrtle in our Aussie Backyard & Summer Citrus gin botanical blends. 

Lemon myrtle can be used in cooking, baking, and making tea. It can also be used in personal care products. 

An Australian Native grown right here on the Gold Coast.

Option 1

Macerate (crush & soak) in 40% neutral spirit for 24-48 hours. Remove botanicals by sieve or cloth filter. Leave for a further 24hrs and adjust with more botanicals to suit your taste.

Option 2
Run the botanicals through a 2nd pot distillation, collecting in small jars and then blending afterwards to taste.

*You must run a 1st distillation (without the botanicals) to ensure a nice clean product. After 1st distillation, water back down to 40% ABV and run a 2nd time with your botanicals.

Preferred method is the vapour path with a Botanical basket using a pot still (If using a Reflux column remove packing) and run taking cuts in jars until the flavour of the botanicals diminishes or Alcohol is reading 30% ABV.

Blend jars to suit your desired taste.
