Star anise (Illicium verum) is often used in red wine making and specialty Belgian and holiday style beers. It has a flavour similar to licorice, yet is dramatically different when tasted side by side.
Use between half a packet and a full packet for each 4 litres, depending on personal taste or the amount your recipe calls for. Do not crush. Boil for at least 30 minutes to extract flavour.
