Recipe's preparation

Fill a half pint jar with whole star anise. Pour in vodka till it completely fills the jar.

Seal the jar and store it in a cool, dark place for three months or more, shaking the jar once a week. The longer you store the spice in the alcohol, the stronger the flavor your extract will have.

Once the extract has matured to your liking, strain the liquid into another bottle or jar to separate the star anise from the extract.

You could substitute the Start anise with Anise seeds and follow the same method to make an Anise seed tincture. Crush the anise seeds a bit and use any extracting solvent or alcohol.

If after three months of steeping, you feel that the extract is not strong enough, keep it for a couple of months more.

Tip

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
