STAR ANISE 50gm

Star Anise 50gm.

• Upon opening the bag you will really appreciate the power of this herb. Intense aromas of fresh liquorice, sarsaparilla may come to mind.
• Star anise is an intensely aromatic spice, giving a pleasant, sweet, aniseed menthol kick to the gins that use it.
• Be careful not to add to much of this potent herb as it can quickly dominate any gin or other dish you add it to, but once you have that perfect balance, it creates a richness that is hard to recreate with any other spice.
• Star anise is widely used in the production of various anise liqueurs and spirits including Galliano, Herbsaint, Jagermeister, absinthe, sambuca, pastis, ouzo, mastika and many more.
• Place 20 gm of Star Anise in a one litre jar, add gin, seal tight and shake. Allow to infuse for about 2-3 days, until it reaches your desired taste, then strain and filter with cheesecloth and coffee filter if desired.
• Your infusion time will depend on how strong you want the flavour.
