[Sca-cooks] liquor and fruits

[Daniel & Elizabeth Phelps]

Was written:

I was wondering what "anisette" was, but rather than just asking
here, I did some web searches. Then I noted that Morgana said "home
brewed anisette".  I'm assuming Morgana, that you really don't mean
brewed as in fermenting, but as in making a cordial, which I didn't
think was classified as "brewing". Or perhaps I've got the wrong type
of drink in mind.

Anise flavored drinks have a long history.  While slightly out of period 
reportedly a flask of such was discovered when the "Vasa" was raised.  I 
suspect that rather than an anisetta it was more of a sambuca/ouzo/arak type 
drink.
