I can't wait to share the experience of making this delightful tea with you!

Directions
Begin by clearing enough space on your stovetop to work comfortably and safely. This is always my first step, especially when making a hot beverage like tea.
Take a small saucepan and pour in 2 cups of water. Remember that the quality of water you use is important. I would suggest using distilled or filtered water to get a clean and pure flavor.
Add in 2 star anises to the water. The thumb rule is to use 1 piece of star anise for each cup of water.
Bring the water to a gentle simmer. Keep the heat moderate and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Simmering it longer helps in extracting more flavor from the star anise. However, avoid boiling it too long, or the tea might turn bitter.
Once your brew has reached a beautiful golden-brown color, strain it into your favorite tea cups. I like to use glass cups for this tea to appreciate its unique color.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of honey or sugar, if you prefer your tea sweet. I usually add a touch of honey to complement the licorice taste of star anise.
If you like a bit of tang to counter the sweetness, add a slice of lemon to your tea. This is optional but recommended as it gives a refreshing twist to the tea.
Your cozy, delicious Star Anise Tea is ready to be enjoyed!
