Health benefits

Rosehips

Using weeds in your drink may not sound very attractive, but it’s true! Rosehips are invasive weeds that often grow wild along hedgerows and unkempt gardens. We forage these through our Urban Harvest Project, ensuring that we only harvest on pesticide and chemical free properties.
Rosehips are considered an old world cure-all natural remedy for the immune system, skin conditions, arthritis, gout, inflammatory conditions and high cholesterol. Best of all it tastes divine! Soft, delicate and fruity. Read more about the health benefits of rosehips.
So, despite the horrors of harvesting and processing this prickly itchy fruit, we are bringing this red gem back into the spotlight. With great flavour and heaps of health benefits, it deserves a place in the gourmet food stage!

Pepperberry

More anti oxidants than blueberries with demonstrated natural anti-inflammatory properties and some anti viral properties!
Pepperberry gives the syrup a fresh spicy flavour and aroma and a slight peppery tingle.

Anise Myrtle

Anise Myrtle has antioxidant, antifungal and antimicrobial properties. It is also a good source of magnesium, lutein, folate, vitamin E, and vitamin C. Anise Myrtle has also been found to have very high quantities of the compound anethole and is traditionally used by indigenous Australians as a tonic.

Infuse the leaves as a tea or concentrated with sugar as an Anise Myrtle syrup.
