How to Make Five Spice Powder

  1. Combine 2 tablespoons star anise, 1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon ground cloves, and 1 tablespoon fennel seeds in a blender or spice grinder.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is finely ground and fragrant. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Sift the powder through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any larger pieces (optional, but recommended for a smoother texture).
  4. Store your freshly ground Five Spice Powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 2 months.
  5. Use liberally in your favorite Asian-inspired dishes!
