Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp fennel seeds
  • 1 Tbsp Sichuan peppercorns
  • 1 Tbsp Chinese cassia cinnamon powder
  • 1 tsp whole cloves
  • 4 whole star anise (equivalent to 1 Tbsp ground)

Instructions
 

  • Gather all spices and lightly toast any whole spices in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Take care not to burn them.
  • Add the toasted whole spices along with ground cinnamon and fennel powder to a mortar and pestle, spice grinder, or small blender. Grind into a fine powder.
  • Sift the powder through a fine mesh strainer to remove any large pieces and ensure a uniform powder.
  • Transfer your homemade 5 spice powder into an airtight container away from heat, light and moisture. Use within 6 months for optimal freshness and flavor.
