Handy herbs for your desserts

Your favourite household herbs aren’t just for jazzing up savoury dishes – these magic multi-taskers are the perfect partner for sweet treats too.

Rosemary

The delicate aroma of rosemary in shortbread is an absolute winner. Perfect with a cuppa – don’t knock it ‘til you try it!

Basil

A favourite in Asian stir-fries for its strong fragrance, add this aromatic herb to vanilla ice-cream for a delicious summery twist.

Thyme

This pretty herb doesn’t just make a beautiful cake decoration – add lemon and thyme to panna cotta for a distinctive flavour kick.

Mint

This readily available herb gives your desserts a fresh lift. Ideal for heavier cakes, in chocolate mousse or infused in a syrup with fruit.

Sage

Commonly paired with chicken, sage marries beautifully with caramelised apples. Add it to your next apple pie for a wonderful flavour kick.

Camomile

Light, floral, the subtle flavours in camomile work beautifully in many desserts. Add some to your next fruit tart.

Lavender

Add a dash of lavender oil to your creme brûlée, custard tarts or sorbet for a beautifully fragrant flavour rush.
