The leaves were soaked in water and then placed over a #fire to produce the #aroma’s from the steam, these were breathed in to produce their effect. It was also believed that the leaves were picked for the #soldiers during #WorldWar2 when this flavour was popular and the other traditional products were in short supply, these leaves were made into a #tonic to energise. Easily grown in the #GoulburnRiverRegion due to our #climate. Even though it is not #native to this region. It's a beautiful shrub to add to your #garden.
