Anise Hyssop is considered the best kept secret among chefs. Uh, well, until just now. But with its taste of anise, sugar and lemon, who wouldn't want to reveal this secret? The flowers of Anise Hyssop are sweeter than its leaves, making them perfectly suitable for a delicious infusion when used fresh or even when dried!
"Harvest your Anise Hyssop by cutting the stems - be sure to not only cut the leaves! Always keep at least 10cm from the base. If you want your plant to grow flowers (they taste sweeter than the leaves), wait for them to grow before you start harvesting." — Our mate the gardener
The vegetal and aniseed aroma of Anise Hyssop goes very well with white fish: just sprinkle some on your dish. Another option is to boil the leaves of your plant in a mixture with sugar and water - your Anise Hyssop will make a very nice syrup in summer.

The pod
Thanks to our patented Float® design, you only have one thing to do: add water once every two or three weeks when the floater sinks. The plant takes all mineral salts it needs out of the water (these are released into the water over the weeks). Discover the Prêt à Pousser technology.
The flowers of your Anise Hyssop are edible! They're delicious and taste sweet and aniseed. They go well with fish and fruits like peach.
Anise Hyssop will grow flowers if you don't harvest it, that's its natural cycle. Just leave it be for a few weeks.
