Brew of the day

IMG_0389

A 1:1:1 mixture today with dandelion leaves /  anise seeds /  rooibos .  Very nice with the slightly subdued field flavour that anise provides compared to licorice root ;  perhaps, in this instance, it is the sense of savannah from the rooibos.

Daintily sipped from a gift at my birth many years ago.  The K is for Kewpie, of course, but all during my childhood I thought it was (only!)  because my name began with a K.

  1. I’d prefer to think the K is for Karen. I love anise seed candy and really miss it over here in Canada. If anyone goes to England that I know I always ask for some to be brought back.

  2. I don’t know about anise seed candy – is it perhaps like the French pastilles of violets, I wonder.
