The ingredient is Anise liquer with a suggestion to use Raki or Ouzo.

 

Piping in a little late, but finding the thread useful none-the-less. Anyway, having studied in Greece, I'd suggest anyone interested in this recipe go for the Ouzo over the Raki. I'm not really a licorice fan either, but Ouzo at least tastes like licorice, Raki on the other hand... tastes sort of yeasty in my experience. It may be that I didn't have the good stuff, but from what I did have, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone :)

 

Also, since it's a licorice flavor the recipe calls for you might be able to substitute pastis or sambuca.
