Five Spice Powder – Chinese

Description

Chinese Five Spice powder is a spice mixture of five spices used primarily in Chinese cuisine but also used in other Asian and Arabic cookery. It is also commonly used in Asian cocktails for a warm spice kick. The dominant flavour comes from star anise with the sweet flavour of cloves and cinnamon that combine to give a sweet tangy profile that works well with rich meats like duck. This exotic and versatile blend is usually used to add sweet but spicy flavour to savoury and sweet dishes.
