This herb has many wonderful culinary uses (teas, cuisine) both from the seeds and the leaves. Other uses include: liquor, medicinal and essential oils. Flavour is similar to licorice and is used to make black jelly beans and other treats. Many warm winter drink recipes can be found for this aromatic tea herb. Flavours like these are where childhood memories are born. ( Not to be confused with the 'Star Anise' plant in Asia. Both have similar flavour. )
