Tips for eating anise
-
If you want to use aniseed for medical reasons, you can think of tea. You can buy anise tea in bags or make it yourself by boiling aniseed for a few minutes. You can drink this hot anise water straight away or mix it with black tea. You can make water with aniseed extract yourself by pouring aniseed over with hot water and then letting it cool down so that you have warm aniseed water in your living room. You can also ground anise in flour products. Make your own cookies, cakes or bread with anise. You can use aniseed whole in baking products. In the morning it is a delicious homemade muesli variant to add an aniseed cube. You can grind aniseed in a mortar and add it to muesli or oatmeal. Of course anise milk is a classic, but it is not entirely certain whether milk is that healthy. For those who want to drink milk, organic milk seems in any case a healthier option than 'regular' milk.
