INGREDIENTS

  • 1.25 cups Sugar
  • 1/8 Cup Water
  • 6 star anise
  • 3 Cinnamon Sticks
  • 12 allspice berries
  • 1 Cup Orange Juice
  • orange zest

INSTRUCTIONS

Step one

In a medium saucepan set over high heat, add the sugar and water. Continue to stir and cook the mixture until it caramelizes and turns deep amber.

Step two

Remove the pan from the heat and add the anise, cinnamon and allspice.

Step three

Stir for approximately 30 seconds, turn the heat to low, and then add the orange juice and orange zest. The caramel will begin to seize, so stir continuously until caramel has loosened. Let cool.

Step four

Strain into a container, and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
