Anise Star Pods (Illicium verum)

These are whole Anise Star pods, organically grown.

Star anise pods have a stronger flavor than anise seed and are considered warming. They can be added to infusions, mulled wine, herbal syrups, and liqueurs. Anise star pods are also employed in tincturing and homemade mouthwashes.

There has been some speculation that this herb may be quite helpful in treatment of the much-talked-about avian flu. Here’s hoping!

Make your own tincture or add it to your teas.

I include it in my Mulling Spices blend.
