Both ways. Depends on whom I’m trying to impress.Merriam-Webster says it's ANN-iss, but an article I found says it comes from the French and an-NIECE is correct. I think any time I've had to say it out loud I've alternated so that I am only wrong 1/2 the time
I like to grow Anise Hyssop in my garden (wonderful plant, by the way. Every garden that can should have them). The correct pronounciation is an-NIECE. As with the spice star an-NIECE.It's in lot's of blends, especially OTC types, but how are we all saying it in our heads as we read tobacco reviews?

So, what say you all?
That explains @cosmicfolklore thinking of hazelnut as Preparation H!My wife and I go bold and always pronounce it "anus". Works for us.

I guess Canada would be considered a cool place, maybe even a cold one . Maybe it’s a- niece up here due to the French influence?People from cool places can say what they like, but anybody from the US saying anything other than ANN-iss sounds like he's trying to sound like he's from a cool place.
Only the rarest of high brow sophisticates congregate here my dear briar colleague.I came here intending to make an anus joke (most likely about Uranus), but I see that there are already multiple men of culture that beat me to it.
