Anise

Anise is a spice made from the sweet, aromatic seeds of the anise plant, which have a flavor reminiscent of licorice. It is used to flavor drinks such as raki, Turkish flatbreads such as pide, and pastries. Although it resembles fennel and star anise, it is a different plant.

Where It’s Used

“Mix anise seeds into the pastry dough and let their aroma infuse it.”
