Star Anise 1 Oz

Description

In times past, fresh star anise was chewed after each meal to aid digestion and to sweeten the breath. Used in specialty Belgian & holiday style beers, star anise has a flavor similar to licorice, yet is dramatically different when tasted side by side. Star anise can be used in Belgian ales with other spices, or may be used in holiday and other specialty ales. It goes well with smoked malt, and may be used in dark beers to enrich and complement the use of roasted dark malts.
