Raki is a traditional Turkish alcoholic beverage known for its strong anise flavor.
This drink has a long history in Turkey, often referred to as "Lion's Milk" due to its milky appearance when mixed with water.
To enjoy Raki, it is typically served with a variety of meze, which are small dishes like cheese, melon, and seafood.
Raki is usually consumed slowly, allowing the flavors to be savored and the conversation to flow.
While Raki is a beloved part of Turkish culture, it is important to drink it in moderation due to its high alcohol content.
