A Zesty Therapeutic Brew: Lemon Myrtle Tissane Tea
Herbal teas come in all shapes and sizes, but they're not all the same in terms of quality. Many blends on supermarket shelves rely on flavourings and dust-grade leaf. A true lemon myrtle tissane is a different experience altogether: whole dried leaf from a single native Australian plant, nothing added.
What makes lemon myrtle tea special?
Lemon myrtle leaves carry more citral than any other plant on Earth, around 95 to 98 percent. That's what gives the brew its extraordinary lemon intensity without any citrus acidity, so it's smooth on the stomach and naturally caffeine-free.
The plant is also rich in vitamins A, B and E along with minerals like zinc, magnesium and calcium, and citral's natural antibacterial and antiviral properties have made lemon myrtle tea a traditional choice when colds and sore throats strike.
How to brew the perfect cup
- Use about a teaspoon of loose leaf per cup.
- Pour water just off the boil and steep for 3 to 5 minutes, longer for a stronger, zestier cup.
- Drink it straight, add a little honey, or chill it over ice with a sprig of mint for summer.
