MONIN Anise syrup has the liquorice-like flavour of Pastis liqueurs and aperitifs typically consumed in the South of France. Anise, also called aniseed, is a flowering plant native to the Eastern Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. Throughout history it has had a variety of uses; in Roman times it was a cure for sleeplessness and was served in spiced cakes at the end of feasts to aid digestion. Add a taste of the sunny South of France to sodas, cocktails, flavoured milk and teas with the aromatic, refreshing aniseed taste of MONIN Anise syrup.
