If you could bottle a winter evening by the fire, it would look and taste like our anisette liqueur. Coriander and fennel seeds and star anise turn into a spicy digesif that you can enjoy on its own or mixed with water for a lighter drink. Seal them with our label ( get the template here), and revelers will saluteyou when they pop them open.

Time 2h40m

Yield Makes eight 8-ounce bottles

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups star-anise pods
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 bottle (1.75 liters) neutral vodka, such as Tito's
1 1/4 cups sugar

Steps:

  • In a mortar and pestle, or a resealable bag and rolling pin, crush anise pods and fennel and coriander seeds. Toast together in a skillet over medium-high until fragrant, about 1 minute. Divide between 2 quart-size glass jars, then divide vodka evenly between jars. Let cool completely. Screw lids onto jars, shake gently, and let stand in a cool, dark place 5 days.
  • Strain vodka mixture through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth; discard solids. In a small pot, boil sugar and 1 1/4 cups water just until sugar dissolves; add to strained vodka. Let cool completely, then refrigerate until cold, 1 hour. Divide among eight 8-ounce gift bottles. Bottles will keep in refrigerator up to 6 months. To serve, pour 1.5 ounces directly over ice, or add 1 part anisette and 3 parts cold water to a glass filled with ice.

This anisette recipe is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I wasn't a fan of this anisette recipe. The flavor was too strong for my taste. I think I'll stick to buying anisette from the store.
