\u00b7\u00a0Make a barbecue basting brush by binding together a bunch of rosemary or lemon grass stems with string.\u00a0 Cut the ends to the same length to form a brush.\u00a0 The heat from the barbecue will release the aromatic oils in the herbs.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0Roast chicken will have a subtle lemon flavour if you fill the cavity with handfuls of lemon balm before placing in the oven.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0Lemon thyme makes a soothing herbal tea for a sore throat.\u00a0 Stew the leaves for about eight minutes in hot water and add a touch of honey for a little sweetness.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0Store excess sweet basil leaves in a jar of olive oil to use later in salad dressings.\u00a0 Add a couple of cloves of garlic for a bit of extra flavour.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0Adding the stunning red leaves of Rubin Basil to a bottle of vinegar will not only give it flavour but will also turn it an attractive shade of pink.\u00a0 A lovely gift.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0Par-cel is a new herb to WA.\u00a0 Its\u2019 name comes from the fact that it looks like parsley but tastes like celery.\u00a0 It can be continuously harvested and adds a delicious flavour to salads but is especially nice mixed through cream cheese as a sandwich filling or dip.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0Both nasturtium leaves and flowers can be a wonderful addition to a salad but their peppery leaves are a real treat when included in an egg sandwich.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0Basil stems are actually more flavoursome then the leaves so should not be wasted.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0The pretty red flowers and the finely shredded leaves of pineapple sage are a lovely inclusion in summer fruit salads.<\/p>\n
\u00b7\u00a0French Tarragon is highly sought after, especially to include in bottles of vinegar or chopped finely into tarragon butter.\u00a0 True French Tarragon should cause the tip of your tongue to tingle a little when chewed.<\/p>\n
