The flowers are edible, with a slightly lighter flavor - try them as a beautiful and tasty garnish or on salad.
Anise hyssop can also be used in a bath - great for sore muscles, and to calm the mind!
You can dry Anise hyssop as well, and enjoy a nourishing licorice flavor tea in the Winter! Just hang the stems upside down until crispy, then separate out the leaves and flowers and store in an airtight container.
You can infuse honey - after drying, put some leaves in a jar and pour warm honey over them. Leave to sit for about a month and then enjoy!
