The name intrigued me, I was out of ice-cream so I decided on this one. Must say I love it - it only has a subtle taste of the star anise. I followed the recipe to the end of step 2 then used my ice-cream maker. One thing I did do that isn't noted in the recipe was to strain the cooled mixture through a fine sieve before churning at the end of step 2 as there are tiny particles of star anise that I wouldn't want too many of them throughout the ice-cream.
