You can purchase this spice readymade however mixing it together yourself adds that extra flavour. The smell of the spice mix is enchanting.
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp whole cloves
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 star anise
- 1 tsp szechuan peppercorns
Break the cinnamon stick up into two or 3 pieces. Place with the rest of the ingredients into a coffee grinder and grind till all spices break up into a powder.
The smell is amazing. You could make a double batch and store in an airtight container for future use.
We forgot to purchase the spice so we decided to mix it ourselves – now we never buying the spice mix again.
