Dutch kraamanijs trivia
In the 17th century Kraamanijs or Anisette was served to the mother straight after giving birth, because of the healing and calming properties. It didn’t taste very pleasant back then as it used to have heaps other ingredients in it, such as valerian, camomile and wormwood. It changed over time to a pleasant tasting drink and it became a habit to serve after birth to all visiting friends and family.
It was believed that after birth anise could bring back the uterus to the original size. It also gave protection against evil spirits.
