Star anise is a popular spice found in many delicious Asian dishes! It adds a lovely licorice flavour to our beloved garam masala spice blend, as well as mouth-watering dishes like biryani and cosy cups of chai. But wait, there's more! This amazing spice also works its magic in some fantastic alcoholic beverages. Absinthe, sambuca, and pastis all get a special twist from star anise, giving them that extra kick of delightful licorice goodness. Cheers to star anise for making our taste buds dance with joy! 🌟🌿

When you use the whole seed pods in your cooking, you'll notice a strong and overpowering flavour that makes the pods inedible. However, you can still enjoy the wonderful taste by simmering the whole pods in your sauces, marinades, and soups. Just remember to remove them before serving! On the other hand, using ground spice is much more convenient, although the flavour may not last as long. To preserve its freshness, make sure to store the spice in an air-tight container away from any moisture, heat, or sunlight.
