Its versatility extends to both sweet and savory preparations, blending harmoniously with other spices like ginger, cloves, cinnamon, or nutmeg.

What exactly is Anise Extract? Our PG-free star anise extract is crafted from anise oil, alcohol, water, and glycerin. Extracts are highly concentrated flavoring agents obtained through distillation from beans, nut oils, fruits, and spices, dissolved in an alcohol base. This natural anise extract can be used to add delightful flavor to candies, beverages, specialty dishes, baked goods, and desserts.

Wondering what Anise Extract tastes like and how to use it? Anise extract offers the distinct taste of black licorice and is commonly used to flavor baked goods and desserts. It plays a vital role in the preparation of biscotti, pfefferneusse, peppernut cookies, and pizzelle, and works wonderfully in various cakes and cookies. The unique flavor of our commercial-quality anise extract can also enhance a wide range of vegetable dishes or add an extra dimension to lamb and beef stews.

To ensure the best flavor experience, make sure to tightly close the bottle after each use and store it in a cool, dark place. This helps prevent evaporation, preserving the extract's sensational flavor for every use.

Please note that Fancy Flours extracts are more potent than typical grocery store extracts due to being suspended in alcohol. Therefore, they are best suited for recipes that involve cooking or baking. For no-bake recipes, it's best to use one drop at a time until achieving the desired level of flavor. Just a few drops of anise extract can replace a whole star anise or ground anise seed. When anise liqueur is called for in recipes, one teaspoon of our extract is a fantastic substitute for 1 to 2 tablespoons of the liqueur.
