Star Anise Ice Cream image

Star anise's licorice-like flavor is what sets this ice cream apart. This version is adapted from the one served at Geordy's restaurant in San Francisco, where the custard is made with all cream, no milk. Time given does not include chilling time for the custard. For the freezing time I'm going by my ice cream machine, yours may be different.

2 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup about 1 1/2 ounces whole star anise (available at specialty foods shops and Asian markets)
