Anisette, take 1

Well, I've been jonesing for an anisette, and we didn't have any in the house, so:

Per Dona & Mel Meilach in Homemade Liquors, page 83:

• 2/3 tbsp anise seed
• 1/2 tsp fennel seed
• 1/2 tsp coriander seed
• 1.5 cup vodka

Mortar the seeds, and put into the vodka for 1 week, shaking daily, for one week. Then strain and add

• 1/2 cup simple syrup

No other aging needed. I figure the final produce will be about 30% alcohol - I used 40% alcohol Kettle One for the booze.
