Aniseed Myrtle Flakes — Australian Native Syzygium anisatum

100% Aniseed Myrtle Flakes (Syzygium anisatum) — an Australian native rainforest tree leaf from the subtropical rainforests of northern New South Wales and south-east Queensland, also known as Ringwood. One of the most aromatic of Australia's native culinary botanicals, Aniseed Myrtle derives its distinctive character from a high concentration of anethole — the same essential oil compound responsible for the flavour of star anise, fennel, and traditional aniseed — but delivered through a native Australian leaf rather than an imported seed or bark. The result is a sweeter, cleaner, more rounded licorice character with none of the bitterness sometimes associated with star anise, and a fresh herbal freshness that is distinctly Australian.

Naturally caffeine-free. No known allergens. Available in 250g, 500g, 1kg, and 5kg bulk. Suitable for teas, culinary applications, confectionery, and as a botanical ingredient in distillery and flavoured beverage production. This product is sold as a food only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Aniseed Myrtle Flakes — FAQs

Everything you need to know before you order.

Aniseed Myrtle (Syzygium anisatum) is a native Australian rainforest tree leaf from northern NSW and south-east Queensland, also known by its old common name Ringwood. Traditional aniseed (Pimpinella anisum) is an annual herb seed from the Eastern Mediterranean. Both contain anethole as their primary aromatic compound — the same compound also found in star anise (Illicium verum) and fennel — but the Australian leaf delivers it in a distinctly different way. Aniseed Myrtle is sweeter, cleaner, and less bitter than star anise, without any of the heavy, sometimes medicinal quality that star anise can carry. The freshness of the native leaf gives it a bright, herbal quality on top of the licorice base that makes it considerably more versatile in both culinary and beverage applications.
Add 1 teaspoon of flakes to a cup of freshly boiled water. Steep for 3–5 minutes covered — covering the cup retains the volatile anethole aromatic oils that would otherwise escape as steam. The resulting infusion is pale golden with a sweet, clean licorice character and a natural brightness from the leaf. No added sweetener is needed — the natural anethole reads as inherently sweet on the palate. Can be enjoyed hot or cooled and served over ice. Blends well with Lemon Myrtle for a citrus-anise combination, or with Cinnamon Myrtle for a warm spice-anise blend.
Aniseed Myrtle is a remarkably versatile culinary ingredient. Seafood: particularly well-suited to rubs and seasonings for white fish, calamari, and prawns — the anise character is a classic pairing for seafood. Baking and confectionery: excellent in shortbread, biscotti, panna cotta, ice cream, macarons, and licorice-flavoured chocolates. Sauces and marinades: adds depth to cream sauces, vinaigrettes, and slow-cooked braises. Syrups and cordials: steep in simple syrup to produce a native aniseed syrup for cocktails, mocktails, and lemonade. The flakes can be used whole for infusions or ground fine for rubs and baking.
Yes — Aniseed Myrtle has become a sought-after botanical in the Australian craft spirits industry, particularly in gin production. Australian distillers use it to introduce a native licorice note into botanical gin blends, often as an alternative or complement to imported aniseed, star anise, or angelica. The clean, sweet anethole character of the native leaf tends to produce a more elegant, approachable licorice note than the heavier star anise — making it appealing for contemporary, lighter-style Australian gins that want to express native botanical character. The flaked format is well-suited to cold maceration and vapour distillation applications.
Aniseed Myrtle's aromatic character comes from volatile essential oils — primarily anethole — that are sensitive to light, heat, and air. Store in a sealed, airtight container below 23°C in a dark location. Avoid storing near heat sources such as stoves or ovens. When stored correctly, the shelf life is 2+ years, but the fresher the flakes the more intense the aromatic pop — for distillery and high-aroma applications, older stock will have lower essential oil content than fresh.
