It is an herbaceous annual plant growing to 3ft (1m) tall. <br /> <br /> Containing liquorice-like components, anise is sweet and very aromatic. It is used to make the following confectioneries: &#039;&#039;&#039;Aniseed balls&#039;&#039;&#039; (Britain), &#039;&#039;&#039;Aniseed wheels&#039;&#039;&#039; (New Zealand), &#039;&#039;&#039;pizzelles&#039;&#039;&#039; (Italy), &#039;&#039;&#039;pfeffernusse&#039;&#039;&#039; (Germany), and &#039;&#039;&#039;knotts&#039;&#039;&#039; (Norway). &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Aniseed]]&#039;&#039;&#039; is also used to make the Mexican drink &#039;&#039;&#039;&quot;[[atole de anís]]&quot;&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;[[champurrado]]&#039;&#039;&#039; which is similar to [[hot chocolate]], the Turkish drink &#039;&#039;&#039;Raki&#039;&#039;&#039; (alcoholic beverage),the Greek &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Ouzo]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, the Italian &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Sambuca]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, the spirit &#039;&#039;&#039;[[absinthe]]&#039;&#039;&#039;, the favourite for Arabic Arak, some root beer such as &#039;&#039;&#039;Virgil&#039;s Root Beer&#039;&#039;&#039; in the United States and as a digestive after meals in India. It also is used to make the [[dough]], when preparing the famous Peruvian dessert &#039;&#039;&#039;&quot;Picarones&quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;. In Colombia, it is also used to add to the national drink &#039;&#039;&#039;Aguardiente&#039;&#039;&#039;, in which, depending on the region, more or less anise gives the typical drink its distinctive flavour.<br /> ==Great with: ==<br /> * [[Apples]]<br /> * [[Carrots]]<br /> * [[Chestnuts]]<br /> * [[Figs]]<br /> * [[Fish and seafood]]<br /> * [[Squashes]]<br /> * [[Parsnips]]<br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Spices]]<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/anise|#anise]] [[Special:Search/spices|#spices]] [[Special:Search/figs|#figs]] [[Special:Search/champurrado|#champurrado]] [[Special:Search/absinthe|#absinthe]] [[Special:Search/parsnips|#parsnips]] [[Special:Search/chestnuts|#chestnuts]] [[Special:Search/carrots|#carrots]] [[Special:Search/dough|#dough]] [[Special:Search/staranise|#staranise]] [[Special:Search/aniseed|#aniseed]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
