Egyptian pharaohs aniseed wine
Egyptians began to brew and drink aniseed wine in 1500 B.C. Early aniseed wine was so strong that it was used as a treatment for gastrointestinal pains, and it developed into a wine that many people had to drink a few cups of every day in order to feel well. Both the people and the royal family, even the pharaoh began to like this wine, and ordered the whole country to brew it on a large scale. To this day, it is impossible to know what power inspired the ancient Egyptians to know how to make such a marvelous wine from fennel and nearly a dozen other aromatic herbs so far in the past. Aniseed is perhaps the most mysterious spirit nowadays. Each manufacturer's ingredients, brewing methods and distillation times are kept strictly confidential, and different brands of aniseed have completely different flavors. Presumably, the most basic ingredients inside anisette are: fennel, mint, bee balm, chamomile, cinnamon, licorice, brahmi, cloves, and other spices, and these spices have the effect of treating gastrointestinal pains, so much so that in the 18th century, anisette was sold in Europe as a healing medicinal wine.
Aniseed is so casual to drink that you can add orange juice, lemon juice, sparkling water, and whatever you want to drink to suit your personal tastes, and the sensations from different methods of mixing are completely different, which is why aniseed is especially popular, with many families pouring it into their coffee to drink along with their coffee at the end of a meal.
