📖How to Use:

Tea: Steep 1–2 tsp crushed seed in hot water for 5–10 minutes. Drink after meals to support digestion or before bed to relax. Enjoy warm or cooled.

Blends: Combine with fennel, caraway, ginger, or peppermint in digestive teas, or with chamomile and lemon balm for calming blends.

Culinary: Use in baking (breads, cookies), soups, or as a spice for chutneys, meat dishes, and liqueurs. Classic in biscotti and sambuca.

Topical: Use infusion as a skin rinse or compress. Mildly antiseptic and skin-softening.

Pets: Dogs may be drawn to anise — use sparingly in treats or scent games. Avoid use in cats. Consult a vet before using in animals.
