How to Brew Aniseed Whole:
Traditional Steeping: Use 1-2 teaspoons of whole anise seeds per cup of hot water (around 200°F or 93°C). Steep for 5-10 minutes to extract the rich flavours. You can adjust the steeping time according to your taste preference.
Infused Blends: For a flavorful twist, combine whole anise seeds with other herbs such as chamomile, mint, or lemon balm. This creates a fragrant blend that enhances the overall flavour and aroma.
Chilled Infusion: Prepare a refreshing iced aniseed tea by brewing a strong infusion with double the amount of anise seeds. Once steeped, cool the tea and serve it over ice, garnished with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint.
