Aniseed Myrtle is a rainforest tree growing in some areas of North Eastern NSW Australia. The leaves are crushed releasing an aniseed (or licorice) aroma. The flavoured leaves are often used for flavouring desserts, sweet sauces, and preserves. It's also popular as a scented savoury sauce or marinade for meats and sets a deep fragrant flavour to salad dressings.
