Chinese Five Spice Mix
A fragrant, warming blend of five aromatic spices that is a cornerstone of Chinese cuisine. Perfect for marinades, braises, and stir-fries.

INGREDIENTS
• 16 star anise (whole)
• 4 cinnamon stick (broken into pieces)
• 6 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns
• 4 teaspoons whole cloves
• 6 teaspoons fennel seeds

STEPS
1. Toast the spices: Place all spices — 16 star anise (whole), 4 cinnamon stick (broken into pieces), 6 teaspoons Sichuan peppercorns, 4 teaspoons whole cloves, and 6 teaspoons fennel seeds — in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Toast, stirring frequently, until very fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

2. Cool: Remove from heat and transfer the toasted spices to a plate. Let them cool completely before grinding.

3. Grind: Transfer the cooled spices to a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grind to a fine, uniform powder.

4. Sift & store: Sift the ground powder through a fine mesh sieve to remove any coarse bits. Store in an airtight jar away from direct light and heat. Use within 6 months for best potency.

NOTES
Tips & Variations:
- No Sichuan peppercorns? Regular black pepper works as a substitute, though it lacks the signature numbing, citrusy note.
- Cassia vs. Ceylon cinnamon: Traditional Chinese five spice uses cassia (Chinese cinnamon), which is bolder and spicier than Ceylon cinnamon.
- Regional twists: Some versions swap fennel seeds for white pepper or add dried tangerine peel or licorice root as a 6th spice.
