I thinki it could be done, but you would need the right leaves from the right variety of tree at the right time of year, for starters Eucalyptus have different chemical compounds in the leaves at different times of year...some of these things are pretty nasty in more ways that one...not just taste. Its one of the reasons that Koalas will eat from a certain tree at some times of the year ....but not at other times.
Ive tried a few different liqueurs from T-mountain and found them all excellent...never tried the Eucalyptus one though.

Dranno....Id had a long day at work...then a few rums...happened to drive past a Lemon Myrtle plantation on the way home so I nicked a few hand fulls of leaves. It was only an experiment and I didn't measure anything. I used roughly 500ml neutral hearts @ 92%....stripped the leaves from stalks and scrunched them up a bit...stuck them in the jar with the ALC till the leaves were level with the liquid level.....took them out after 24 hours as there was already heaps of taste.....added enough sugar syrup to bring it down to about 40% abv. It did turn out surprisingly well and Im sure with a bit of fiddling it could be a lot better.
