A question about anise

[reddragon]

Hi all, I have done some more mixing today, I am hoping for a better success rate this time 

I have made some strawberry licorice using anise for the licorice flavour. My question is, does anise need steeping? I have tried a little of the mix this evening and it could do with a little more anise for my taste but I don't want to add more if the flavour will develop with a bit of steeping.

Thanks

Whose and at what percentage have you mixed it reddragon?

[reddragon]

I used chefs vapour the rebranded range anise and I did 2% (along with 18% sweet strawberry and 1% ethyl maltol)

[Perpetua]

I haven't used that one . . . but with Decadent Vapours, 5% works for me.

I'd think you could happily go a couple of percent higher.

Thanks Perpetua I will add some more tomorrow

Forgot to add Perpetua I take it that it doesn't need steeping?

Good to go from mixing reddragon.
