From Bon Appetit magazine. I want to be able to find this recipe again. This is a non-alcoholic drink, served with club soda. Ingredients:
8 whole star anise |
2 tablespoons whole pink peppercorns |
1 tablespoon whole cloves |
3 cups water |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup fresh thyme sprig |
chilled club soda |
Directions:
1. Toast anise, peppercorns and cloves in a small skillet over medium-high heat until aromatic, stirring often, about 2 minutes.
2. Wrap spices in triple layer of cheesecloth; tie shut.
3. Pound with a rolling pin to crush spices lightly.
4. Bring 3 cups water and 1 cup sugar to boil in medium saucepan. Add spices in cheesecloth. Remove from heat; cover and allow to steep 15 minutes.
5. Add 1/2 cup thyme sprigs. Cover and steep 10 minutes longer.
6. Strain syrup into medium bowl. Chill until cold.
7. To serve: Fill 8 tall glasses with ice. Divide syrup among glasses. Add 1/2 cup soda to each glass. Garnish with thyme sprigs and peppercorns.
