Anise tea is a type of herbal tea made from a plant called anise thigh, or Pimpinella anisum... Anise is a spice grown in the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Asia. It is believed that anise has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, is useful for colic, bronchitis and reduces nausea. However, you should not rely only on this remedy and neglect medication if prescribed by a doctor. Anise tea is more of a supplement or small help, rather than a solution to serious problems. Anise tea is prized for its aroma and sweet taste, reminiscent of licorice. It warms and relaxes.

Ingredients

Brewing anise:

• Dry or fresh anise leaves
• 1 cup boiling water

Anise broth:

• 1 tablespoon of anise seeds
• 2 cups boiling water

Anise tea (long brew):
1 serving

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 teaspoon of ground anise seeds

Anise Milk Tea:

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Brewing anise

1. 1 Boil water. Place 1 teaspoon of dried anise leaves or 3 teaspoons of fresh anise leaves in a cup and then pour over the boiling water.
2. 2 Give infuse within minutes. The tea can now be served at the table.

Method 2 of 4: Anise Decoction

1. 1Boil water.
2. 2 Grind 1 tablespoon of anise seeds. You can grind the seeds in a mortar with a pestle.
3. 3 Pour 2 cups into a saucepan boiling water. Add chopped seeds and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. 4 Serve to the table. The tea is now ready and you can serve it. You can add milk to your tea if you like.

Method 3 of 4: Anise Tea (Long Brewing)

1. 1 Grind the anise seeds if you haven't already. This will release essential oils, which will make the tea taste even brighter and richer.
2. 2Place the crushed anise seeds in a mug or glass.
3. 3Pour boiling water into a mug.
4. 4 Let it brew for 10-15 minutes. Yes, the tea will cool down, but the taste will become deeper due to the long brewing. When the tea is sufficiently brewed, you can drink it.

Method 4 of 4: Anise Milk Tea

1. 1 Substitute warm milk for the water in one of the recipes above. Anise tea is especially delicious when hot milk is used instead of water. Anise milk tea is ideal to drink before bed as anise has a good soothing and hypnotic effect.
