Star Anise, Anise Seeds, Ground Powder, Aniz, Organic Star, Anice, Whole Pods, Annise, Aniseed Spice

Ground anise seed powder with the sweet, licorice-like aroma that defines true anise (Pimpinella anisum). The warm, mildly spicy flavor carries clear notes of fennel and sweet herbs, making this aniseed powder a natural choice for baking and warm drinks. A baking staple for licorice-flavored treats. Stir this anise powder into cookie and biscotti dough, pizzelle, springerle, pfeffernusse, and Mediterranean sweet breads. Because it is already milled, the flavor spreads evenly through batter with no whole seeds to crush or strain out. Well suited to beverages and infusions. Whisk a small pinch of aniseed into hot water for a fragrant anise tea, or use it to flavor mulled drinks, syrups, and homemade cordials. Its sweet profile also rounds out coffee blends, hot chocolate, and spiced milk. Not just for sweets. This anise powder seasons savory cooking too, adding depth to tomato sauces, roasted carrots and pumpkin, seafood, poultry, and slow-cooked stews. A little goes a long way, so start with a quarter teaspoon and build up to taste. Blends smoothly with fennel, caraway, cinnamon, orange zest, vanilla, and almond for spice mixes and seasonal recipes. Packed as a fine powder for easy measuring, it keeps best in a sealed container away from heat and light to protect the aroma.
