  1. I love anise and very often make anise infusion with just anise seed and filtered water. The Rooibos (I can't call it tea) adds an extra layer and depth to the anise that is lovely. I made all 4 cups of the recipe just for myself (the guys won't try anything healthy or "girly", good grief!) and I'll sip it all away with pleasure. Thanks for posting Rita, this is something that I'll use often.
     
  2. Rita this recipe is outstanding. Anise water is a coman remady for sore or upset tummies, Granny would likely whip a batch up and stand over you untill you drink every drop. Adding the tea makes it taste so much better. I will be making my anise water like this from now on wards and I will be passing the recipe on. Thank you for another gr8 recipe :)
