1
Infuse the Alcohol
In a large glass jar, combine the anise seeds and high proof alcohol. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the infusion process.
2
Create the Simple Syrup
After the infusion period, in a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3
Combine Mixtures
Once the simple syrup has cooled, strain the infused alcohol through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the anise seeds. In a mixing bowl, combine the infused alcohol with the simple syrup. Add the whole star anise and split vanilla bean for additional flavor.
4
Bottle and Age
Transfer the final mixture into clean bottles, seal tightly, and let it age for at least another week to allow the flavors to meld together.
