I put kaffir lime leaves and the zest of the fruit into a homebrew lager during fermentation and it is really really good!! It added a beautiful floral citrus character to the aroma of the beer and a subtle lime like aftertaste that sits in nicely with the hop bitterness. All in all nectar from paradise!!
Thanks for the comment. Some brewers have also used Lemon Myrtle, Australian Native Pepperberry and Wattleseed. Experimenting is part of the fun, well done!
If your watching this video 19/10/20 you are a BOSS, this man makes me want to use my emergency supply. Its never to late to learn and try something new. Especially now. 😉
I've been eating Thai food for years now and my favorite food is Thai curry. Most Thai curries use kaffir lime leaves but I never had access to them til now. People already love my Thai curry but until now, it hasn't been completely authentic. It's such a pungent strong herb that's so important to Thai cuisine. I would say it's one of the three backbones to Thai food along with jasmine rice and fish sauce. I know you said Asian to be reach a wider audience, but the leaves are uniquely Thai.
I wouldn't exactly say uniquely Thai... it's very common in all of southeast Asia. I'm Cambodian and we use it in dips, bbqs, curries, soups, garnish, and the fruit as a beauty product even. It's name literally translates to laughing citrus, because of the wrinkles associated with laughs that are unique to their fruits. My friends from Indonesia and Malaysia use it extensively as well. We had Three Kaffir lime trees in the backyard until a really bad winter one year -.-
Agreed, my wife is Lao, and we have a tree of our own. She uses it quite a bit. Sorry to hear about your trees. We have ours in a very large pot and take it out after the threat of frost has passed, and bring it back in when the season is over.

Your information was very thorough . You should start up a channel and explain spices and the way they are used.

I'm Jason and it's mine. So it's Jason or Jason's. Enjoy my tree
You can make an awesome shampoo out of the fruit. Also, local Asian stores will purchase them from you quite readily.
