Good to know
Digestives on the Mediterranean are known for their aniseed aroma, which tastes so wonderfully like liquorice – whether Sambucca (Italy), Ouzo (Greece) or Raki (Turkey). The anise is also responsible for the fact that, for example, Raki or Ouzo turns cloudy when mixed with water, as it contains Anethol, which is hardly water soluble. Anise is also often used for desserts; no wonder, because it's actually 13 times as sweet as sugar. Incidentally, Anis has nothing in common with the star anise in particular.
