Anisette is traditionally a liqueur obviously alcoholic. Our Triple Anisette is alcohol free and is made from just three ingredients, 44% Fennel seeds, 40% Aniseed, and 16% Caraway seeds. If you love the smell and taste of Liquorice, you are going to adore this herbal tea. Fennel, Foeniculum vulgare, has long been taken to aid digestion and bloating, as well as helping with oral hygiene. Indian restaurants will sometimes give sugar coated seeds as an after-dinner freshener. The Greeks and Romans prized it as it was said to give courage to warriors. Also, one of the main three ingredients in Absinthe. Anise seed, Pimpinella anisum, not to be confused with Star Anise, has long been used in cooking and flavouring drinks such as Anisette, Ouzo, Sambuca, and Absinthe. The health benefits seem to be similar to Fennel, indigestion, constipation, migraine, menopausal symptoms, as well as being rich in nutrients and antioxidants, plus helping to treat depression. Caraway, Carum carvi, has been consumed in England since at least the 15th Century, Finland supplies 28% of the world’s production, despite it originating in Asia and North Africa. It also helps with improved digestion, IBS, menstrual cramps, weight loss, and may help with better sleep.
It goes without saying that if you're pregnant (or are under the doc for anything) caution should be exercised with herbal decoctions.
