Homemade Star Anise Liqueur Recipe

Miscellaneous Untried Recipes

This is from a collection of recipes from books I own, but which I haven't myself tried yet. However, you can have faith that at least the authors themselves have tried them, so they're not deadly or anything.

From Homemade Liqueurs by Dona and Mel Meilach:

• 2/3 tablespoons star anise (broken and crushed)
• 1 1/2 cups vodka
• 1/2 cup sugar syrup

Steep herb in vodka for 2 weeks. Filter, add syrup. Liqueur is ready to be consumed or bottled

For effect: when completed, place a whole star intact in clear class bottle before adding liqueur.
