Tea with anise

1 serving

60 minutes

Anise tea is a fragrant drink with warmth and depth of flavor. Its roots trace back to European traditions where spicy herbs and spices were valued for their warming and healing properties. Anise adds a sweet-spicy note to the tea, while chrysanthemum flowers contribute a delicate floral aftertaste. Lemon refreshes the drink, and honey and sugar soften its bitterness, making the taste rounded and balanced. This tea is perfect for cold evenings when you want to wrap up in a blanket and enjoy coziness. It not only warms but also has beneficial properties — it helps relax, improves digestion, and supports immunity. Due to its unique flavor profile, anise tea is often served in restaurants and used in tea ceremonies.
