Homemade Anise Extract

Adrienne Bogatie
Finding Kosher anise extract is really difficult, so I found a recipe to make my own! Making your own though requires a little patience as it take 2-3 months.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 teaspoons dried fennel seeds
  • 240 ml Vodka
  • 1 glass jar with screw top lid

Instructions
 

  • Place the fennel seeds and the vodka in the glass jar.
  • 3 times a day for the first week, shake up the jar.
  • Allow the seeds to steep in the vodka for 2-3 months.
  • Can’t wait that long
  • If this is too long for you to wait, you can use a licorice flavoured liquor like arak, ouzo, or sambuca instead.
