Star anise has a distinct licorice flavor similar to that of anise or fennel, though itâs not related to either of these spices. It pairs well with coriander, cinnamon, cardamom and clove. In cooking, star anise can be used whole or as a powder. Itâs often utilized in classical Chinese, Vietnamese, Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines, especially as a flavor enhancer in broths, soups and curries. Itâs well known for its presence in the Chinese â5 spiceâ and Indian âGaram Masalaâ blends. In traditional Chinese and folk medicine practices, star anise is steeped in water to make a tea used to treat respiratory infections, nausea, constipation and other digestive issues.
