It is both sweet and fragrant, perfect for adding a gourmet and slightly spicy touch to your ice creams made with Ninja Creami.

Ingredients :
- 250 ml of water
- 200 g of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of anise seeds (or 2 star anise if you prefer a more intense note)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Preparation :
- Heat the water and sugar
In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring regularly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. - Add the anise seeds (or star anise)
Once the sugar has dissolved, add the anise seeds or star anise. Leave to infuse over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to infuse the syrup with the anise flavors. - Add lemon juice (optional)
If you want to balance the sweetness of the anise, add a tablespoon of lemon juice at the end of cooking to add a little tangy note. - Filter the syrup
Remove the pan from the heat and pass the syrup through a fine sieve to remove the anise seeds or star anise. - Let it cool
Let the syrup cool to room temperature before pouring it into an airtight bottle. The syrup keeps well in the refrigerator for about a week.
