Anise or Aniseed has a sweet, aromatic taste that resembles the taste of black licorice; although the plant is not directly related to liquorice, it has a very similar taste and smell.
In the Mediterranean region and in Asia, aniseed is commonly used in dairy products, gelatins, meat, candies, and breath fresheners. Aniseed is also often used as a flavouring agent, widely found in pastries, soothing herbal teas and being known to pair well with seafood, fruit and chocolate.
