In 19th-century medicine, anise was prepared as aqua anisi ("Water of Anise") in doses of an ounce or more.

More information

L’anis est doux, très aromatique et se distingue par sa saveur caractéristique. 

Originaire du bassin oriental de la Méditerranée, il a d’abord été cultivé en Égypte et au Moyen-Orient pendant 4000 ans avant d’être amené en Europe pour ses propriétés médicinales.  

Selon Pline l’Aîné, l’anis était utilisé comme remède contre l’insomnie et mâché avec un peu de miel le matin pour rafraîchir l’haleine.

Dans la médecine du XIXe siècle, l’anis a été préparé sous forme d’aqua-anisi (« Eau d’anis ») à des doses d’une once ou plus. 

L’hydrolat peut être utilisé en cuisine, dans des mocktails ou des cocktails et ajouté à des produits quand on souhaite y retrouver un parfum sucré et subtil de réglisse.
