Pastis was first commercialized by Paul Ricard in 1932 and enjoys substantial popularity in France, especially in the southeastern regions of the country, mostly Marseille, (Bouches-du-Rhône) and the Var department. [1] Pastis emerged some 17 years after the ban on absinthe, during a time when the French nation was still apprehensive of high-proof anise drinks in the wake of the absinthe debacle. [2] The popularity of pastis may be attributable to a penchant for anise drinks that was cultivated by absinthe decades earlier, but is also part of an old tradition of Mediterranean anise liquors that includes sambuca, ouzo, arak, rakı, and mastika. The name "pastis" may be derived from Occitan " pastís," a mash-up or blend, or French " pastiche," a stylistic imitation. Kosalec, I., Pepeljnjak, S., and Kustrak, D.

One example of this is a simple remedy for flatulence in children, which is prescribed as follows: put a teaspoon of anise in a cup, pour boiling water over it and cover, leaving it to infuse for five minutes. Strain into another cup and serve. Otherwise, the Ancient Greeks believed that anise helped with pain relief, difficult urination, and reduced thirst. However, anise is a well-known carminative and helps settle the digestive tract, which decreases bloating and reduces flatulence. In one book for beekeeping, the author said that anise oil is the best way to attract bees when there are no flowers to be found. Mosaffa-Jahromi M, Tamaddon A, Afsharypuor S, et al.

Ouzo Health Benefits

Pastis ( French pronunciation: [pastis]; Occitan: pastís, pronounced [pasˈtis]; UK: / ˈ p æ s t ɪ s/ or US: / p æ s ˈ t iː s/) is an anise-flavoured spirit and apéritif traditionally from France, typically containing less than 100 g/L sugar and 40–45% ABV ( alcohol by volume). You may recall ouzo being cloudy and white, rather than clear — this is called the louche effect, or “the ouzo effect,” and occurs when the spirit is mixed with water. This is a common way to enjoy the drink over ice, usually alongside a meze platter or meal.
