Background

Aniseed, also known as anise, is a unique spice with a flavour thats difficult to pinpoint or accurately describe. Some consider it to have similar qualities to liquorice. Others feel it tastes like a blend of star anise and fennel.

Whatever the case, theres no denying that aniseed is a universally popular ingredient for baked goods and drinks. Now, thanks to MONIN Aniseed Syrup, the sweet spice can be easily added to whatever food or beverage you desire.

The History

Believed to have first been cultivated at least 4,000 years ago in Egypt, aniseed has a long history as both an ingredient and a therapeutic tool.

Ancient Romans apparently hung aniseed plants near where they slept, believing it would help to combat bad dreams.They also considered aniseed as a way of preventing epileptic attacks. Even today, the herb is used for a number of medicinal reasons, such as treating coughs and helping with asthma.

The Romans would also make use of aniseed as part of their culinary efforts. Mustacae, a spiced cake, would often be served after a rich meal had been consumed. This would typically happen following big events, such as an extravagant wedding feast. However, the reason for this wasnt simply down to its taste; the cake was primarily served to prevent indigestion.

It took until the Middle Ages for aniseed to find its way to central Europe. Its first use in England is believed to have been in the 14th century, although it took until the middle of the 16th century for the country to start cultivating aniseed.

Sadly due to the temperamental nature of British weather, successful crops only happen during very warm summers. As a result, the spice is mainly grown in warmer countries such as Spain, Bulgaria and Italy on a commercial scale.

In the UK, one of the most popular uses of the herb is in aniseed balls. Created in the early 20th century, aniseed balls are a hard, long-lasting round sweet which are flavoured with aniseed oil.They were especially popular during World War Two, and not just as a consumable treat.

The balls were an effective time delay for Limpet mines, a sort of bomb that was placed on the bottom of a ship, due to the fact that they were slow to dissolve in water. This allowed divers to get well clear of their target, before the mine went off.

If you’re looking for a syrup pourer, we recommend the Pro Cocktail Pourer, a cheaper alternative to the MONIN Speed Pourer.
