Instructions

  1. Crush or grind the spices (star anise, aniseed, fennel seeds, coriander, and cinnamon) in a coffee grinder. Peel the lemon to remove the yellow zest in thin strips, avoiding the white pith.
  2. Add the crushed spices and lemon zest to a large bottle with the rock sugar. Pour the grain schnapps over them and seal the bottle. Let it steep in a warm place (roughly 18-24°C / 65-75°F) for 4 weeks.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine cloth or filter into a clean bottle. Let the liqueur ripen for at least 1 week before serving.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
