How to Make Anise Milk

  1. Gently crush anise seeds using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the milk and crushed anise seeds. Heat over medium heat until just before boiling, stirring occasionally. Do not boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the sugar and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry.
  5. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering milk mixture. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and lumps.
  6. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a mug to remove the anise seeds.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting warmth!
