What spices are in Chinese Five Spice?
- Ground Cinnamon: Often the most prominent flavor in Five Spice blends, cinnamon provides a foundation of warmth and sweetness
- Ground Fennel: Seeds with a licorice-like flavor. It contributes a sweet, anise-like taste and aroma. Adds a subtle sweetness and anise flavor, complementing the anise seed
- Ground Anise: Another seed with a licorice flavor, but more intense than fennel. It enhances the mix's sweet and aromatic profile.
- Ground Clove: Adds intensity and a slight numbing sensation, balancing the sweeter spices with a strong, pungent flavor. Cloves add warmth and a slight numbing sensation.
- Ground Szechuan Peppercorns: Not actually pepper, but berries from the prickly ash tree. They provide a unique numbing and tingling sensation along with citrusy notes.

How to store homemade five spice
Remember, while spices don't typically "go bad" in a way that makes them unsafe to consume, they do lose potency over time. The goal of proper storage is to maintain the spice mix's flavor and aroma for as long as possible.
- After mixing the spices, transfer the blend to an airtight container.
- Label the container with the name of the spice mix and the date it was made.
- Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
