Green Breakfast Bowl
Published on September 18, 2017
Considered the “queen” of the lemon herbs, lemon myrtle is undoubtedly one of the most popular Australian native herbs. It has a fresh aroma of citrus, with delicate menthol essence and a tantalising lemon flavor, which raises this bowl to new heights.
