A fragrant spice with a naturally sweet, liquorice-like flavour, ground aniseed brings warmth and aromatic depth to both savoury and sweet dishes. Used for centuries across Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and European cuisines, it has a distinctive taste that can uplift baking, drinks, and stews with just a pinch.
Ground aniseed is wonderfully versatile and convenient to use, adding instant flavour without the need for crushing or infusing. In the kitchen it finds its place in spice blends, marinades, desserts, and traditional bakes. Here are ten tasty ways you might enjoy it:
Stirred into homemade biscuits and cakes for a subtle liquorice note.
Blended into spice rubs for lamb or chicken.
Infused into mulled wine or hot cider.
Mixed into Middle Eastern pilafs and rice dishes.
Added to tomato sauces for a deeper, slightly sweet complexity.
Used in breads such as aniseed rolls or Italian biscotti.
Whisked into syrups for drizzling over pancakes or fruit.
Folded into stuffing mixtures for poultry.
Combined with fennel and coriander seeds for aromatic curry blends.
Sprinkled into herbal teas for a naturally soothing flavour.
Extra tip: A little goes a long way with ground aniseed – start small and build up to taste, as its distinctive flavour can easily dominate.
“I added this to my biscotti recipe and it was just like the ones I tasted in Italy.”
“A pinch in my chicken marinade transformed it – so fragrant and different.”
“Lovely in herbal tea, gives it a sweet and calming finish.”
