Obviously it isn’t summer without the occasional ice cream. Actually, now I think about it, it hasn’t been summer yet, but the weather forecast is good and I am getting one step ahead!
One of our best selling lemon myrtle seasonings, is where we have hand blended the myrtle with Droitwich Brine Salt and dried thyme. It is also a Great Taste winner! We think it is one of our most versatile seasonings. We love it in this salted caramel sauce.
Desperate measures – one day I had run out of thyme and substituted with our mint blend! It was equally as delicious but not such an attractive colour. Perfect when over ice cream though! Obviously, we loved the minty hit.
Lemon Myrtle News Flash
On to a bit of rubbish news. We will have to put on our thinking cap, once again. My supplier of lemon myrtle has stopped sourcing it and after much searching I have paid an arm and a leg for two kilo’s to carry me on. I know, it is definitely not going to last long but at nearly £90.00 a kilo and add to that the carriage – YIKES! It may be that there is someone out there that I am yet to find, but please be aware that we may have to make a tough decision with this product, so i recommend grabbing your supply now! I am yet to alter the price although I paying a much higher rate for ingredients We love to rise to a challenge at Myrtles!
