Strawberry & Lemon Myrtle

Sun-sweet berries, bright lemon-sherbet finish

Ripe spring strawberries with a whisper of lemon myrtle — sweet up front, then a clean, citrus-leaf brightness that keeps you reaching for another scone.

How it's made

Strawberries are hulled and macerated overnight with sugar. Fresh lemon myrtle leaves are bruised and steeped through the boil, then lifted out before jarring so the flavour stays fresh rather than perfumed.

What goes in

Strawberries

Hawkesbury and Sydney Basin growers, picked up at the growers' market

Lemon myrtle

Fresh leaf from a Northern Rivers grower, topped up from neighbours' garden trees

Lemon juice & sugar

Backyard Meyer lemons; raw cane sugar from northern NSW
