The anise sounds interesting. I wonder what it would be like if fennel was added?

I think they are similar, at least aromatically.

not really trying to imitate anything, but i suppose the closet thing flavor wise would be Chinese 5 spice.

it worked out well it has just a touch of heat, i've made it before
i wouldn't mind another opinion.

I don't see it as Chinese 5 spice.
I see it more as a Thai & Vietnamese fusion (star anise and coriander) with a hint of Indian (Turmeric) and an intrusion of Italian (red chili flakes) and possibly more depending on the Basil.

What is your goal?

i think this is where i got the idea from, i used Basel because i don't have the Thai verity.
