This herb is found in the subtropical region of Eastern Australia, and grows on a small rainforrest tree. The tree also known as, carrol,carrol ironwood,neverbreak,ironwood or grey myrtle. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnamon_Myrtle).
We have used this herb to give cakes, muffins, biscuits, ice cream and spices a wonderful spicy flavour. Cinnamon Myrtle can also be added to curries and Moroccan recipes. One of these being our Cinnamon Myrtle and White chocolate cheesecake, see cookery book volume two for the recipe.
