A very Australian flavour oil which is often used in combination with honey. However, other complementary flavours include other aromatic ingredients eg garlic, caramel, smoke, many herbs, ginger, to name a few.
The important point in using Gumleaf oil is that tasting it several times in a row will deaden your taste for the oil and while it may appear to be lightly flavoured, for anyone tasting it for the first time, it will be over-powering.
Taste-test carefully using other foods to cleanse the palate eg bread.
Good for flavouring ice cream and other dairy desserts, add to dressings and emulsion sauces, use diluted as a brush-on flavouring over meats and seafood. |
