Time 2h20m

Yield Makes four 12-ounce bottles (about 6 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange zest, plus 1 cup fresh juice (from 4 oranges)
1/4 cup fennel seeds
8 star-anise pods
Orange peel, cut into long strips, for bottling (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, orange juice, fennel seeds, star anise, and 3 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, stirring until sugar is dissolved (if it begins to boil, reduce heat -- boiling will make the syrup cloudy). Remove from heat; stir in orange zest. Let steep 1 hour.
  • Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large liquid-measuring cup; discard solids. Refrigerate until completely cool, 1 hour. Pour into gift bottles, adding orange peel, if desired. Syrup can be stored in bottles, refrigerated, up to 1 month.
