May Chang Oil
May chang oil.....
May chang is a small tropical tree with fragrant flowers that smell similar to lemongrass. The name cubeba is given to this plant because the small round fruits resemble those on the climbing shrub piper cubeba, a native plant of Java.
The fruit of the tree is also made into a hot flavoring for meat known as sambal. The flowers of may chang are used as flavoring for tea.
