Vietnamese star anise is the pericarp of the fruit of Illicium verum, harvested just before ripening. Its flavor is similar to that of common anise and it is used in cooking and baking to flavor meat, soups, red sauces, stews, legumes, rice, and desserts such as cakes.
It is also used as a spice in the cuisines of India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia, as well as in the preparation of liqueurs and other beverages. To make an infusion, boil one star in approximately 200–300 ml of water for 5–10 minutes, then strain.
