Aniseed Seeds - Whole

Aniseed (also known as anise or anix) has a distinct flavour similar to black liquorice.  

NOT to be confused with star anise.  Star anise pods have a star shape, while aniseed seeds are much smaller.  Their flavours are similar.  But Star Anise is slightly more herbaceous with a slight umami character.  

Aniseed is used to add a liquorice like flavour to many distilled spirits such as Ouzo, gin and Absinth.  Our suggestion is to macerate it first and then distil the liquid.
