Anise seed tea

History

       A native of Greece and Egypt, Anise Seed 
(Pimpinella asisum) is probablt the oldest known aromatic seed. 
Anise has been recognized and used since the seventh century, 
B.C. In biblical times, taxes were often paid in Anise Seeds. In 
Europe, it is still put into wedding cakes, in the ancient 
belief that it will bring good luck. The Romans widely 
cultivated Anise for its fragrance, flavor and health 
properties.

      Anise has licorice-like taste and is often 
used to flavor sweet pickles, vegetable and fruit salads, cakes, 
cookies, candies, stews, liqueurs, soups and marinades. 
Commercially, Anise is used to scent perfumes and soaps and to 
flavor toothpastes and mouthwashes. The tea is soothing to sip 
after a large meal, and when brewed with warm milk makes a very 
pleasant bedtime tea.
