{"product_id":"smoked-star-anise-single-origin-spice-seasoning","title":"Smoked Star Anise - Single Origin Spice \u0026 Seasoning","description":"Our star anise is picked by hand in the mountains near the border between Vietnam and China. \n\nThe winter harvest of this incredibly flavorful ingredient yields slightly smaller fruits that are first dried over a wood fire and then being sun-dried. This process concentrates the natural sweetness of the fruit and highlights the rich, nutty licorice essence while also imparting a light smoked aroma.\n\nOur Smoked Star Anise has a beautiful flavor and aroma perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. Add petals to stocks, braised meats, rice, teas and cocktails, or grind them up for desserts and baked goods.\n\nCooking Tips: \nAdd petals to homemade stocks, broths and braises\nThrow 1-2 pods into a pot of rice after adding water\nAdd to your mulling spice mix for wine, pears, cocktails and teas\nGrind and add to spice cookies, holiday cakes and homemade frosting or whipped cream","brand":"Burlap \u0026 Barrel","offers":[{"title":"0.5 oz glass jar","offer_id":47518149345418,"sku":"BB1684180","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/1674\/2461\/files\/5b301e6f87ffdc151ee091b4904609e75ce26773ee2d877444d0abe232b8346c.jpg?v=1767131015","url":"https:\/\/sweetgourmetonline.com\/products\/smoked-star-anise-single-origin-spice-seasoning","provider":"Sweet Gourmet Tyler Texas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
