  • Makes: 2 mugs
  • Time: 15 min
  • From: Anise

Ingredients

  • 500 ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon aniseed
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or honey

Method

  1. Lightly crush the aniseed in a mortar or with the bottom of a pan.
  2. Slowly bring the milk to the boil with the aniseed, stirring now and then so it does not catch.
