Chinese Five Spice
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
YIELD: about 1/2 cup.
I regularly mix up my own spice blends, such as this Chinese five spice recipe. I make Indian and Mexican spice blends, too. But my favorite is this one, thanks to its strong anise flavor. It's so convenient to make from pantry staples I have on hand. —Lydia Scott, Englehart, Ontario
