Star Anise
Star anise is the seed pod from the fruit of the Illicium verum plant, an evergreen shrub native to Southwest China. The star anise pod, which is shaped like a star (hence its name), has an average of eight points, each containing a single pea-sized seed. Both the seeds and the pod are used in cooking and contain the sweet, potent anise flavor. Star anise is sold whole and ground.
First time making a rootbeer. No alcohol, 2.5 gallons, lots of herbs/spices and some rootbeer extract.
Second attempt at making a rootbeer. Very similar process to the first one.

This is the base Chili Oil recipe with Grapeseed Oil substituted for the Vegetable Oil. I'm aiming for a more neutral oil flavor.

Similar to (ChiliOil4) this was split in to two containers; one for my father. The main difference with this one is that I toasted some of the spices before adding them to the oil.
