Most people do not know what it is, even in the food business. It tastes something
like licorice. You use it for cookies, candy, even one cigar is anise flavored.
I will try to make anise tea.
Anyone do that?
 

It was a tradition at my Sicilian nonna's that everyone got a shot of Anisette when they came to the house; many of her cookies and pastries were anise flavored and I love licorice so, yes I like anise flavored anything. My wife does not.

It could be an acquired taste, but I do like some cookies that have anise extract in them... usually a Christmas treat.
I haven't used it for anything else.
 
I don't care for the taste of anise. I think I remember having Stella Doro biscuit/cookies with that flavor as a child.
 
Strangely enough, I do not like licorice or anis-flavored liquor, but I do like fennel, fennel seeds, tarragon & basil...which are are reminiscent of anise. I can't figure it out.:confused:

I actually knew what that was, loved black, licorice when I was a kid:) Started hearing about Anise I think when I was frequenting health-food stores? I am not so crazy about the flavor (sweet part) of licorice, but I like trying things, so I might have to do that;) Thanks Athos!! Denise
