Want to sound like a pro? Say it like “ANN-iss” in the US. Say it like “ANN-ees” in the UK. Say it like “Uh-NEESE” at a fancy cocktail bar—they’ll think you’re a mixologist.
Remember: The seed doesn’t care. It just wants to be used. It wants to be baked into springerle cookies or steeped in ouzo. Ouzo is a Greek liquor that turns white when you add water. Magic. And it tastes like anise.
If you’re still stressed, say “licorice seed.” Nobody will fight you. Problem solved.
