How to Make Anise Oil

What You Need:

Dried anise seeds
Carrier oil (e.g. almond oil)
Mortar and pestle
Cheesecloth
Glass container

Procedure:

Grind the dried seeds with the mortar and pestle to release the oil and scent of anise, but not too much that it will turn into a fine powder.

Transfer the oil into the glass container until it’s almost full.

Pour the carrier oil into the container until the anise oil is completely submerged.

Seal the container and keep it exposed to the sun. The sun’s heat will help release the oil from the crushed seeds.

Drain the oil through a cheesecloth to remove the anise seeds. Once done, store the finished product in a cool and dry place.
